New cafe headed to Kankakee

Owner Jamie Morris, of Kankakee, said she has had different stores before in retail for a few years. She has also incorporated yoga into her businesses before.

This will be her fifth shop.

Last year, her business online went viral for selling hormone balancing creams. She has sold 60,000 creams this year. The creams are a natural product made with herbs, she said.

“I love helping people feel better,” Morris said.

She wanted to make the business a combination of selling herbal remedies and also have a cafe, Morris said. There will be a variety of different things.

“We want to cater to everybody,” she said.

There will be a smaller selection of crystals, smoothies, candles, soaps, body care, and skin care. The majority of the products will be made by her business, she said. It’s also the first time her business will be selling drinks.

Morris is planning to create a community atmosphere, she said.
