Meet Heidi!

She works at our downtown location as shift lead and has been with Second State for a little over a year, helping keep things running smoothly and creating a welcoming space for everyone who comes in. She loves connecting with people and being part of such a great team. You’ll usually find her sipping on her go-to iced brown sugar oat latte with cinnamon! Outside of work, Heidi loves going to the beach, spending time with her animals, and hanging out with her friends!

COFFEE DROP // Carolina RamĂ­rez Washed via

We first met Caro back in 2024 and just recently got to catch up at World of Coffee! We are so thankful to finally be sharing her coffee with you.

This coffee is a smooth, everyday sipper with juicy citrus, delicate strawberry, and silky chocolate mouthfeel.

You’ll be able to taste it as our feature brew at the Navy Yard location very, very soon. In the meantime, snag a bag online or in stores.
