$17 + tips Who We Are We're a franchise coffee shop, but our location is built around one core belief: community comes first. We open our doors very soon, and we're building a team that feels welcoming, genuine, and connected to the neighborhood from day one. Even though we're part of a larger brand, we operate with a local heartbeat. We want to be the café where people stop in not just for their drink, but because they know they'll be greeted by someone who remembers their name, their order, and their story.
