Clutch City Shop knows the importance of selling everyday essentials. In this case, coffee, hot sauce, and face mask. It may sound like an odd assortment of items to sell, but it makes sense. The best way to make a day better is to have a nice cup of coffee (I can't see how a cup of Clutch City Shop's Pumpkin Spice Coffee, or Peppermint Mocha, or Mexican Hot Coffee can't turn your day around). The best way to enjoy a meal is to put a little spicy kick to it. And the best way to stay safe today is to wear a mask. Like I said - essentials!
