Celestia Collective has welcomed guests in their space for a couple of weeks but the official Grand Opening party is happening on Friday, September 13.
The brand-new business is a “witchy coffee shop meets community space” — a gathering point for folks seeking spiritual depth, personal growth, a new book, a new tattoo, and a warm cup of coffee.

Therefore, this collective space is truly a group effort between four friends, all who are using their own skills to create a welcoming environment. They’re hoping to bring more people together in one big space, whether it be via an iced mocha, during one of their workshops, or with a tarot reading.
Now, speaking of coming together, the Grand Opening is this Friday the 13th beginning at 10 a.m. They’re open till 7 p.m. and will be open from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. throughout the weekend.
Celestia Collective (Luna Craft, The Stitching Hour, Colibri & Renard Coffee, and Monsoon Mystics) will be giving away some freebies, hosting live music, offering Friday the 13th flash tattooed, and serving baked goods at 657 W. Saint Mary’s Road, Units C10-11.
They’ll even have food trucks out during the day (details are still in the works).
If you need some geographical guidance, they are located inside the large industrial building near Saint Mary’s Road and I-10 — just a few steps down the sidewalk from EcoGro.
There’s a large dirt parking lot on the west side of EcoGro that’s open for anyone to use (don’t park in spots assigned to other businesses).
The entrances to the shops face Saint Mary’s Road. You’ll see A-Frame/Sandwich board signs out on the sidewalk luring you in.
Cassandra Barr inside the coffee shop, Colibri & Renard Coffee, who’s roasting their own beans, is dishing out some coffee shop staples like lattes, iced mochas, tea, and espresso shots. There’s even a cozy seating area with vintage chairs, tables, and a bookshelf stacked with Witch-themed literature.
You can also buy coffee and tea blends online.
Stop by on Friday the 13th and order some caffeine, shop around, and consider hosting your own workshop!
Celestia Collective is located at 657 W. Saint Mary’s, Units C10-11. For more information, visit celestiacollective.com and follow the local coven on Instagram.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
