This is the Lost Balloon cafe, so what exactly are found balloons? Glad you asked. 

Found balloons are fun little cultural snippets we find on our travels and everyday life that impact us. Experiences, material things, you name it–anything that changes us for the better as we go through life are “found balloons.” Whenever I find these balloons, I like to bring them back to the café to share with you guys.
