The owners say no one was hurt, and police are investigating.
While the money lost isn't detrimental, the owner says it will still take a toll.
"Being a small business, every dollar counts, so taking half a day's worth of our sales in cash, like that, definitely does affect us," said Abide Coffeehouse Co-owner Austin Shission.
Abide's owners say they are grateful for the support the community continues to show them, and they are even running some specials as a way to say thanks.
