Big Brews & Even Bigger Hearts: Meet Our New Friend, Joe Bell!

Hey there, Sundial family! 🐢☕️

There’s nothing we love more than a perfect spring morning in Surf City—except, maybe, seeing our local community thrive. As the weather warms up this March, April, and May, we are so excited to share a project that’s extra close to our hearts.

At Sundial Coffee & Tea, we’re about more than just caffeine; we’re about connection. Every quarter, we partner with a local non-profit to help spread the word about the amazing work they do. This spring, we’re diving deep with the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.

We have a new “CRUSH”! 💚

We couldn’t just talk about the turtles—we had to get involved! We are absolutely over the moon to announce that Sundial just adopted a total cutie pie named Joe Bell!

Joe Bell is a patient over at the sea turtle hospital, and we’re officially his biggest fans. While we’re busy frothing milk and pulling shots, Joe Bell is busy getting stronger every day so he can head back home to the ocean.

How you can support the turtles too 🐢

Want to help a turtle “shell-ebrate” a recovery? You can symbolically adopt one of Joe Bell’s friends! Whether it’s Lennie, Lichen, Pansy, Jonah, Pumpkin Spice, Desert Rose, Oregano, Pisces, Indian Paintbrush, or Kittentail, your support changes lives.

Why it’s so special…

1️⃣ Food & Medicine: When you “adopt” a turtle, your money goes directly toward the specialized meals and medical care they need to heal.

2️⃣ The Ultimate Gift: These adoptions make the sweetest gifts for kids, teachers, or that one friend who’s obsessed with the ocean.

3️⃣ Straight to Your Door: Gift adoptions are shipped right to you (or your loved one) with a special card acknowledging the gift. It’s the perfect way to share the love!
