Latte art throw down

09/30/2022

Oops! We’re a day late on posting about National Coffee Day! We were so busy yesterday that we forgot. Anyway, since we think coffee should be celebrated more than a day, we’re offering 25% off on all coffee orders via our website using code “nationalcoffeeday2022” through this Sunday (10.2.22)!

Cheers! ☕️

Latte Art Throwdown, but with a baby. 😅

We’re so excited! 🥇✨

THANK YOU to everyone who went out of their way to vote The Caffeinery as Muncie's Best Coffee Shop! It means a lot to us to be so well received by our community. We appreciate each and every one of you!

We're excited to announce a pilot project that we've been working on for a while and is now ready for its debut! We have developed a new coffee box that we’ve dubbed the Double Take Coffee Box. This box contains one coffee roasted two different ways! Our intention is to showcase how the art and craft of roasting can present a single coffee in multiple ways.

Each bag is adorned with a QR code that will link you to a PDF full of information specific to that particular roast profile! We encourage you to brew both of these coffees, put on some of your favorite music, scan the QR code with your phone and just vibe as you get lost in the sensory experience.

Again, just to re-iterate... This box contains TWO 12-ounce bags of the same coffee roasted two different ways to create two entirely different drinking experiences.

Being that this is a sort of passion project, we’re not sure what the demand will be… So, for the sake of this first run, we are doing 15-boxes. If you're interested... act fast!

Just a heads up! We’ll be closed for Labor Day weekend and will re-open for normal business hours on Tuesday, 9.6! Come and stock up on some beans before the long weekend ahead!

Just a few days left of our Summer drinks! We'll be announcing Fall flavors very soon! 🍂

Hats off to all of the competitors in the 2022 Golden Bean North America coffee roasting competition (Golden Bean North America)! This marks the first Golden Bean competition since COVID and it’s good to be back. For those of you not in the know... Golden Bean is described as the World's Largest Coffee Roasting Competition and attracts the best of the best in the coffee roasting industry. Thousands of roasters submit their coffees from all over North America to be blind tasted and judged by industry peers.

This year, we are excited to announce that seven of our submissions placed and earned medals! I’d like to thank our entire team with a special shout to our roasting division for all of the hard work that goes into ensuring that our standards are met (and exceeded) on a daily basis.

We’d also like to thank all of our customers for the love and support that we receive on a daily basis. Ya’ll are the best!

08/11/2022

FINALLY! Perfect patio weather! ☀️

Also, hi, it's good to be back!

07/26/2022

All work and no play is no way to live!

One of the big lessons we took away from the pandemic was the need to prioritize time for ourselves and our amazing team. Rather than go through the headache of working around multiple vacation schedules, we’re closing down the shop for a bit (7.30-8.6) so all of us can take some much deserved PTO. A nice little reprieve before we head into the busy season!

Coffee orders through the roastery will still be happening, so if you’re needing coffee next week, place your order through our website! www.thecaffeinery.com

After this week, we’ll be back on Monday, 8.8!

Cheers! ☕️

07/25/2022

We want to know! What's your favorite creamosa flavor? There are so many different combinations you can create! Right now, we're loving the strawberry + peach!

07/01/2022

Nothing beats that first sip of an iced latte! Have you tried the cookie dough flavor yet? 🍪

06/30/2022

Just a heads up!

We will be closed on July 4th & 5th so that we can spend time with friends and family! We will resume normal business hours on Wednesday! 💥💥💥

06/16/2022

Better milk, better lattes! 🥛☕️

We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Oberweis for our dairy products. This reduces our consumption of plastic milk jugs by 3,000 per year! Increasing quality whilst also reducing our carbon footprint is a win/win and we couldn’t be more pumped to work with a company that takes their dairy as serious as we take our coffee.

05/23/2022

We out here on a Monday! 7:30a-2p! ☕️

05/19/2022

📣 We’re opening Monday back up, starting next week on 5.23 @7:30a-2p! See you then! ☕️

What's your favorite way to drink matcha? Hot or Iced?

Travis and Village Green Records may be moving, but little pieces of him shall remain; whether they be visible or not. We go way back with Travis... Back before The Caffeinery was even a thought. Back to the days of wild irresponsible decisions, late nights, and basement shows. He's responsible for introducing countless people to their favorite artists and records and Muncie is better for it. Proud to say that we love this guy. This guy drips culture and kindness.

We'll be sad to see him go but are also happy for the new chapter. If you've been turned on to an album or artist by Travis, drop in the comments!

John Carlson: A Life Filled With Wonderment — Muncie Journal

We lost our friend today.

Frank and I first met John Carlson when he visited our coffee shop to do a Chowhound write up. Since that initial meeting, we have had countless encounters and not one of them unpleasant. He was always so kind, funny, and thoughtful. Every interaction with him was always a positive one.

Coffee shops are a place for community and sometimes one of the hardest aspects of the job is saying goodbye to the people that make a community great. John was a major part of that.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time, especially his wife Nancy.

Please give his last journal entry a read. We will miss you, John.

Editor’s note: This is John Carlson’s last column for MuncieJournal.com. We are very, very saddened to report John passed away peacefully last night at his home. John brought happiness to so many, many people with his columns and books during a journalistic career that spanned decades in East Ce...

As of today, we will be adding onion milk to our lineup of dairy alternatives! It’s fresh, organic, and made in-house! Oh, and did I mention it’s gluten free, vegan, sustainable, nut and dairy free? Because it is. That, and it steams like a dream! It’s unique flavor profile pairs well with all of your favorite hot and/or iced beverages. Oat milk is so 2021, the future is onions!

03/30/2022

I know a lot of you have been taking bets on when the baby would arrive and it looks as if it’s right around the corner! The downtown cafe will be temporarily closed as Frank and Lauren welcome their first child into the world. We’ll sure to keep everyone updated and will be back up and operational as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

Today is our 8 Year Anniversary and we're celebrating with a Birthday Cake Latte!

We're so incredibly thankful for the support you all have shown us over the years. It's because of you that we're able to continuously show up to do the things that we love and share them with the world. Because of this support, we've been able to help countless people and even start a family of our own. We can't wait to see what the future brings!

Cheers!
Lauren, Frank, + our amazing crew!

It's 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘 week here at The Caffeinery! 8 years on St. Patrick's Day! Can you believe it? 🎉

To celebrate, we created our own Birthday Blend! This coffee is a delicious combination of Central and South American coffees that offers up a delicious grape sweetness with a nice milk chocolate base and a honey-like mouth feel.

Available in the shop and online!

02/16/2022

Oh, hello, everyone!

Just wanted to pop on here real quick to let you all know that Frank and I are expecting our first baby! We're pretty sure most of you knew already, but thought we should formally announce it on here as well. With that being said, our son should be arriving in the next 3-5 weeks. A little Spring babe! So, that means we will be closing the coffee shop for a week when I go into labor....whenever that is. We'll be sure to keep everyone posted on here to let you know when we will be closing/re-opening. We have a really solid team that will hold down the fort while I'm gone, so don't worry! Also, the roastery will be operating as usual and orders will still be fulfilled and delivered.

Next time you see me in the shop will be with a baby on my hip! And yes, I'll train him early so he can start making you all lattes. 😉

Cheers,
Lauren

Cheers!

02/03/2022

Being that most of us are drinking coffee at home this morning due to weather conditions (school and work delays/closures)... We're curious! What's your favorite mug look like? These are our favs and we'd love to see yours! Feel free to show off your go-to-mugs in the comments.
