100% independently owned and operated 

It all began in the summer of 2019 when I was blessed to visit my daughter who was doing an internship in Australia. I fell in love with Australia - the people, the culture, and all the AMAZING independent coffee shops! Each one was so cute and different from each other! One morning, while sitting at a coffeeshop overlooking the ocean, I began to dream: “Can I do this? Should I do this? What would I call it? Do I take little Australia back with me? Takeaway instead of to-go, toasties instead of paninis?  Could this be it? Could the Elm building continue to be my home away from home?” Ya see… I knew I was going back home and needed to find a new job as my Salon Manager position at Elm Salon would soon be no more. I was beginning to think this was meant to be. 

​

September 12th, 2019… We made the official announcement! Here we go! To say it was a difficult process is an understatement! The city, the state, Wac/Sac, plumbing hold ups, and then COVID-19 2 days after opening! Many times through this journey we discussed walking away. Good things come to those who wait, patience is a virtue, push through… all crossed our minds. But the biggest decision maker was to follow the dream the God had placed on my heart! We want it to be more than a coffeehouse. We want to create community in Hastings! A place to connect with family, meet your friends, network with coworkers, and build relationships!  But more than that, we want to "Be the Good” however that may be! 

​

We are excited to be here and share this space with you! We hope this is a  place where you are able to slow down and enjoy the moments!
