Meet the Team
We are a team of friends working together to serve you with a warm welcome, great food, and fresh coffee
Girl Boss
Danica
Danica is the life of the party. She brings fun, and laughter to every room she enters and always starts her day with espresso. She spends her free time with her dog child, Rusty, and their adopted rescue dog Ibey. She devours books and will confidently admit that she is a huge anime fan. Danica runs the coffee operation and is excited to elevate the coffee scene in Mountain Lake.
Executive Chef
Adam
Adam keeps everyone on their toes. He is smart, and funny, and considers challenges an opportunity to learn and conquer. He enjoys making gourmet meals from handmade ingredients while staying true to the authentic nature of the dish. He is known for turning casual conversation into deep theological and philosophical debate, as he excuses himself to begin his next project. His favorite morning beverage is a classic espresso double shot with 1/2 oz of Aperol. Seafood and Sushi absolutely top his culinary chart and are his specialty.
Operations Manager
Karina
Karina is a native to Mountain Lake. She grew up milking cows and picking rock, and only started drinking coffee in her 20’s to stay warm working in a cold office. She spends her free time doing crafts and painting nails at the nursing home, reffing soccer, knitting apparel, and is known to brew a gallon or two of beer. She could survive on cold Dr. Pepper and salad.
Barista
Emily
Emily's family is from Mountain Lake, but she is new to the town. She has lived in St. Petersburg, Pskov, Belarus, Krakow, and Seoul teaching English and spreading the Gospel. Her drink of choice is espresso on the rocks. She is a coffee purist and tries to make all drinks to perfection. Emily recommends the pork tenderloins on Thursday because they remind her of her favorite Korean dish Tonkatsu.
Barista/Sous Chef
Cooper
Cooper is a native of California and relocated from Reno, NV. He excels in the service industry and provides expertise and culinary inspiration from outside the Midwest area. In his free time he enjoys working out, working at approximately 7 other jobs, and being outdoors. He prefers latte blends for his beverages and has a preference for our middle eastern wraps.
Real Food. No Secret Ingredients.
