Owning a coffee shop that is run by a family is truly an amazing thing. Convo Coffee started on February 14th, 2022 and we haven’t looked back. It all started when I was a child and would wake up in the mornings to see my parents sitting and having coffee together. It always brought me peace to walk into the kitchen, smell Folgers coffee coming from their coffee pot and see them talk about a wide range of different things. My grandma would often make me a little coffee with a whole lot of cream and sugar so I could have coffee with her and do the same thing.

Fast forward, and my parents, 55 years later, still do the same thing. They get up, have coffee in the morning. However, there is a little twist. Now, they have coffee in the morning and then come to the coffee shop and bake the absolutely yummy pastries that we have available. 

The Bakers

Meet Candee and Rich, or as our regulars affectionately call them, Grandma and Grandpa Convo. The Harley riding amazing couple come in every morning Friday-Tuesday and bake their delicious cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes, breakfast pockets, and different flavored muffins on the weekends. They aren’t just our bakers. When the shop gets busy, you’ll see Grandma behind the register and Grandpa working his barista skills behind the espresso machine.

The Baristas

Meet Liz, Patrick, Katelyn, and Christian. I had wanted a coffee shop for years, so my husband Patrick asked why not make it a reality? Thus started the amazing, albeit sometimes frustrating journey into owning a coffee shop. A teacher for over 12 years, I often told my students to try new things and sometimes trying new ideas can be scary. This was definitely a scary idea but totally worth it. Patrick comes in when he isn’t working his already full time job. He doesn’t just barista, but does maintenance, and occasionally makes his famous rice crispy treats. He also creates a lot of the art on our walls. Katelyn, our daughter, is often found at the shop helping mom during the weekdays. This incredible kid has been an American Red Cross recipient, and is always on the lookout to help out. Thanks to a couple of our regulars who we now call friends, she is looking into the EMT program at one point so she can continue her passion in helping people. Christian is the youngest of the family.. He is often our cashier. This incredible young man is a mathematician and is often seen in different plays. He loves playing the guitar. In fact, you’ll find his first guitar on the wall of our coffee shop. 

THURSDAY BAKER

Meet Nancy! Nancy isn’t a blood family member, but she might as well be! She comes in on Thursdays to help us out and give Grandma and Grandpa Convo a little break. She has the kindest heart - always helping others and often dreaming of being in Alaska to play with the bear cubs and sled dogs! 


Owning your own business is an awesome experience in itself, but working with family and learning together is the best. Convo Coffee truly is all about feeling at home and being part of a family.
