The customer seemed to be going through a hardship, based on the context of the note, but said the cafe’s food and welcoming environment left them in higher spirits and that their “black cloud” of gloom had been lifted.

“This is why we do what we do! In a world divided, Comfort Cafe is here to remind us we are all one!” the cafe said in the social media post.

The note reads as follows:

“Thank you for all that you do for us -- the crippled and broken. Today was an extremely hard day for me (got bad news last night); as soon as I showed up, Matt welcomed us and the weight/black cloud lifted. Love radiates in this place and our community is infinitely better with you in it. My heart and belly is full!”
