COFFEE SHOP CULTURE


WE’RE IN THE SUMMERTIME DIMENSION NOW

COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE

OLD BROOKLYN’S SECRET COFFEE SHOP

CCC ~ 2017 - 2022

COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE is my proudest and most significant creative work to date. A small business incubator as well as a multi functional retail space and, of course, specialty coffee shop.

From the first moment I was introduced to the location on Pearl Rd by the Old Brooklyn Community Development Corporation, I knew without hesitation that I wanted to sign the lease. My work on CCC is a powerful example of how local government, federal grant assistance, private investment, independent building owners and creative entrepreneurs can work together to activate the plentiful dormant infrastructure in our community.

PASSENGERS CAFE

THIS ISN’T A COFFEE SHOP, IT’S A ROCKET SHIP

PASSENGERS CAFE ~ 2015 - 2018

Passengers Cafe was my first opportunity to step into the role as Owner and Operator of my own brick and mortar business. A small, multi-roaster, specialty coffee bar located in the lobby of The Cleveland Hostel, Passengers Cafe was a bright, sunny sanctuary that boasted an amazing rooftop view overlooking downtown Cleveland.
