One of the many cool things to happen in June is our (finally) operating Bellwether Roaster. You've definitely noticed this beauty up by our register. Standing just over 6' tall, this pretty lady is handling all of our roasting operations IN HOUSE!
We're so excited to be partnering with Bellwether on this new chapter of our business. A fully electric, completely ventless design, this roaster helps to eliminated eliminate billions of pounds of CO2e in the coffee roasting process.

Patio Season is Here
Miss us on Mondays?
Now you won't have to! Say goodbye to the Monday blues and catch us SEVEN DAYS A WEEK! We started opening on Mondays back in February and we are so happy to see you! Mondays have turned into a great day for us to catch up with you all meet a few new faces that haven't had the chance to stop in.
And hopefully, she's here to stay. A couple of notes/reminders to anyone wanting to enjoy our patio.
Our patio space is pet friendly, however, please be mindful of leaving your pet unattended. Absolutely no pets inside of the cafe space, please.
Our drive thru window is also walk-up order friendly, so you can place your order at the window if you'd like to keep your pet near to you at all times.
Please, no smoking on the patio.
Help us keep our patio clean! Bring in any garbage/dishes to keep things from blowing away. We are so excited to welcome in the warmer weather and look forward to enjoying it with you all.
