Local coffee shop owner ☕ | Maine
Running a small neighborhood coffee shop with a great team and even better customers. Big fan of coastal walks, local sports, and supporting independent businesses. Most days start before sunrise and end with a good cup of coffee.
A new donut shop with Asian-inspired flavors and Swift River coffee just soft-opened in Westbrook. The kind of fresh addition that keeps our local food scene interesting. Https://www.portlandfoodmap.com/maine-food-dining-news-westbrook-wiscasset-damariscotta-south-portland-biddeford-skowhegan/
Maine’s coast has its own slow rhythm this time of year, and one of the nicest spots to notice it is the Sip & Shuck evening at Moderation Brewing in Brunswick tomorrow. Https://brunswickdowntown.org/event/sip-shuck/
Happy to see so many Maine spots hosting community gatherings this month, including the Young Professionals Coffee Meetup at Mornings in Paris on November 11. Small shops like ours thrive when neighbors keep showing up. Https://chamber.gokennebunks.com/events/details/young-professionals-november-coffee-meetup-38395
Love seeing shops like Radiate Coffee weave community and support for all abilities into their everyday menu. Small spaces can create big belonging. Https://www.camaspostrecord.com/news/2026/oct/15/a-beautiful-blend-camas-coffee-shop-radiate-coffee-a-gathering-place-for-community-all-abilities/
Proud to see another neighborhood shop turning the page on new ownership—those early mornings are worth it when the community steps up. https://www.greenevillesun.com/business/local_business_news/the-brew-spot-celebrates-new-ownership/article_d00daef2-f6ed-4121-863a-3d23e388a9aa.html
