Kitchen is OPEN

Hello, MCCo Fam!

It has been a season of adjusting, rebuilding, and figuring things out as we go, but we have some genuinely good news to share:

Our kitchen is back to operating at full capacity, for NOW. We do have some potential new hires and we will take all the good vibes you can share for the hiring process!

We are still accepting applications, interviewing and thoughtfully growing our team. We’re looking for dependable, hardworking people who care about cleanliness, consistency, hospitality, and community. If that sounds like you, or someone you know, we would love to connect.

Apply Here (https://tmt.spotapps.co/job-listings?spot_id=202858&callback_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmerchantcoffee15003.com%2F&_gl=1%2a5v5vjx%2a_ga%2aMTg1NTYwNTQ3Mi4xNzcyNDkwNDM5%2a_ga_VG24VK2VKT%2aczE3ODgyODI2NDMkbzM0JGcwJHQxNzg4MjgyNjQzJGo2MCRsMCRoMA..%2a_ga_0Y1HBZR7W4%2aczE3ODgyODI2NDMkbzM0JGcwJHQxNzg4MjgyNjQzJGo2MCRsMCRoMA..)

Can’t Make It In? Show Us Some Dash Love

Some days are simply too busy to stop and we understand.

Merchant is available on DoorDash, so you can have your coffee, breakfast, or lunch delivered directly to your home, workplace, or wherever the day has taken you. Or you can place your order on our website for pick up while you are on your way! Good on you for thinking ahead.

Order Online for Pick Up

Ordering through DoorDash is another way to support our small business, even when you can’t physically make it through our doors. So, if you’re having one of those days, show us a little Dash love. We’ll send something delicious your way.

Order Merchant on DoorDash (https://order.online/store/-36388025/?delivery=true&hideModal=true&utm_source=gfo&rwg_token=AE37R_iIjblrGfR3DSD2Yt0r8S9-U_-Y1Fqv5hiH0srLLNk2OWwWYiDPvjfR8DaTBS4XuYsled5xDRJojWc8wGQCMT852hcjVQ%3D%3D)

Back to School, Back to a Rhythm

15% off offer, read on..

The beginning of a new school year brings a fresh rhythm for students, teachers, school staff, and families (speaking from great experience lol) and we would love to make the transition a little softer.

Through September 30, students, teachers, and school staff can enjoy:

15% off any drink during The Evening Ritual
Wednesday–Saturday | 3:00–8:00 PM
Just show us your school ID.

Whether you’re heading home after a long day in the classroom, meeting a friend, or trying to finish an assignment somewhere that isn’t your bedroom, we’ve got a seat for you.

The Evening Ritual Is Your New Study Zone

When we created The Evening Ritual, we imagined more than simply keeping the coffee shop open later.

We imagined a softer place to land at the end of the day, a place to study, create, meet, read, work, or sit quietly with something good to drink.

During Evening Ritual hours, you’ll find:

Plenty of table space
Free Wi-Fi
Our regular coffee and espresso menu
Botanical and alcohol-free drinks
A warm atmosphere without the pressure to rush

Bring your laptop, your books, your study group or just yourself.

Wednesday–Saturday | 3:00–8:00 PM

Gather well. Sip slowly. Stay awhile.

Community Spotlight: Jambridge

Jambridge brings local music, food, breweries, artists, businesses, and neighbors together in one place. It is created by volunteers, supported by local businesses, and brought to the community by the community.

Merchant is proud to be part of something that celebrates the creativity, resilience, and wonderfully scrappy heart of our town.

A Note From My Heart

The last several weeks, I have been tying my very best to keep it together throughout this staffing transition. Quite honestly and transparently it's exhausting me. My staff and my family can see it. Even though I have been here before, and I have learned to stay patient and optimistic; that pivots are a part of it... it doesn't make it suck any less. While I try my best to protect my peace and mental space while trying to grow this business and show up in a way that supports this community with excellence, some days are just rough. Parenting teenagers, navigating relationships, bartending, managing and operating a business in a season where I am being called to go deeper within myself and grow personally and professionally (and I am finding healing is around every corner) makes me want to escape, retreat and turn off. S**t, sometimes I want out completely. I'd be straight fibbing if I said, I love what I do everyday! While I refuse to stop putting my all into this business and this community, I will give myself permission to let the universe do its job. I will work towards staying grounded and understand that so many things are out of my control. I will breathe, I will rest and I will most certainly PLAY. Lastly, I will keep showing up to the best of my imperfect abilities. Many of you see me on the surface but very few people know me deeply - my story, my scars, my beautiful flaws. All of the parts that make my gritty whole!

Needless to say, you all know by now, staffing transitions affected our hours, our kitchen, and our ability to serve you with the consistency we want Merchant to be known for. As a small-business owner, it is hard when your vision and your current capacity don’t quite match. I know the changes were sometimes frustrating, and I never took your patience for granted. I am also so grateful for our current staff and team and everyone helping to keep these doors open.

But this season also reminded me why Merchant exists in the first place.

You continued walking through our doors. You ordered drinks when the kitchen was closed. You shared our posts, encouraged our team, asked how we were doing, and gave us room to find our footing again.

Now the kitchen is back, our team is rebuilding, and we are moving forward with a little more wisdom and a whole lot of gratitude.

Merchant has never been only about coffee or food. It is about having a place where people feel welcomed, known, and connected. Every time you choose Merchant, order through DoorDash, attend an event, bring a friend, or simply share a kind word, you help protect that place.

Thank you for staying with us through the imperfect parts.

We’re still here. We’re still growing. And we’re very glad you’re here with us.

With love and gratitude,
Kimberly + the Merchant Coffee Team

Coffee is the vehicle. Community is the destination.

We Would Love to Gather Your Thoughts

If Merchant has ever made your morning brighter, fed you something you loved, introduced you to a new friend, or simply given you a place where you felt at home, would you consider leaving us a Google review?

During a season of rebuilding, your reviews help more people discover Merchant and give new guests the confidence to walk through our doors for the first time. They also remind our small team that the care we put into this place is being felt on the other side of the counter.

It only takes a minute, costs nothing, and genuinely makes a difference for a small business like ours.

There are a lot of ways we could tell you what The Evening Ritual is.

But we think the people who actually spend their evenings here might say it better.

Meet Nicole. 🤍

This is what The Evening Ritual feels like from her side of the table.

A place to gather. To slow down. To meet someone new or spend a little more time with someone you already love.

Not really a new version of Merchant.

Just more hours to be what we’ve always hoped this place could be.

Gather well. Sip slowly. Leave a little lighter than you arrived.

Wednesday–Saturday | 4–8pm

I very much cringe writing this post.

Our kitchen will be closed today, Tuesday, August 25.

And I’m not going to dress it up with a clever caption or pretend that this part of owning a small business doesn’t hurt.

I’m sad. I’m frustrated. I’m disappointed. And, if I’m being completely transparent, I’m feeling worn.

YES WE STILL HAVE BAGELS AND PASTRIES AND DRINKS! And hopefully someday this will all be a thing of the past.

This transition has been harder than I imagined it would be. Every time I think we’re getting our feet underneath us, there’s another hurdle. Another adjustment. Another day where we can’t show up for you in the way that I want Merchant to show up.

And that is the part that breaks my heart.

Because this place means so much more to me than opening the doors and ringing a register. I care deeply about what we’ve built here. I care about the people who walk through these doors, the regulars we know by name, the people who choose to spend their mornings and afternoons with us, and the community that has continued to pour into Merchant even when things have been messy. And somewhere deep inside me I know that transitions are rarely clean or easy.

But I’m definitely not giving up on what we’re building here. I will do what is in my power and my control. But the rest is what it is.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 26, our kitchen will be OPEN again. And we will get up, unlock the doors, turn on the lights, make the coffee, fire up the kitchen, and keep going.

Because sometimes that is what building something you believe in looks like.

Thank you for continuing to walk through the messy parts with us.

It means more to me right now than you probably realize.

AND BTW - We are looking for baristas and cooks. I am checking the inbox for qualified applicants every day. Apply on our website, link in bio.

Sometimes what we need is a room where we can get quiet, put everything down for a minute, and simply receive.

Last night’s Sip + Sound was exactly that.

Liz Elizabeth Romantine guided us through a healing journey of the mind and body through sound, stillness and presence, while we created our own cups of comfort at Merchant’s build-your-own tea bar.

No performing. No productivity. No pressure to be anything.

Just a room full of people giving themselves permission to rest, receive and restore.

And damn, it was beautiful.

I am incredibly grateful to Liz of Infinite Illuminator for bringing her gifts into this space and sharing them with our community. She is an incredible human, and what she offers extends far beyond what you experienced at Sip + Sound. If something about this kind of work speaks to you, I absolutely encourage you to seek her out and explore everything Infinite Illuminator has to offer.

This is also just the beginning.

We want Merchant to be a place where community isn’t only built over coffee. We want to create more opportunities centered around wellness, connection, peace and presence. Places to gather, yes, but also places to exhale.

And after seeing this room last night?

We’re doing it again. 😌

🌙 NEXT SIP + SOUND
Wednesday, October 14

More details to come. For now, save the date.

Gather well. Sip slowly. Leave a little lighter than you arrived.

Did you know Merchant caters? Because apparently we haven’t been talking about this nearly enough. ☕️🌿

We had the pleasure of setting up an off-site coffee bar for the staff at Baden Academy, and it was a pretty good reminder that what we do doesn’t have to stay inside our four walls.

Corporate events. Staff appreciation. Showers. Private parties. Community gatherings. Meetings. Celebrations. And more.

Already have the space? We’ll bring the goods.

Need the space too? We’ve got that covered.

Coffee, iced lattes, food, hospitality, whatever makes sense for your gathering. We can build something that fits your people and your event.

And a huge THANK YOU to Baden Academy Baden Academy Charter School for choosing us to take care of your staff. Every time another local organization chooses this little business of ours, I feel so incredibly loved and grateful. 🥹

So yeah… let us cater your next event. 😛
