My wife and I were visiting from Omaha, Nebraska and we wanted to purchase some local coffee beans. We had a tight schedule, so when we accidentally went to the roasting office and not the actual coffee shop, I thought we'd missed our chance. My wife suggested I pop my head in and ask to speak to someone. I was concerned I'd be wasting everyone's time, but I did it anyway. So glad I did! I spoke with... McKayla? Sorry if I got that wrong.

Excellent coffee and fantastic customer...
