‘Influencer’ couple announces opening date of stunning coffee shop in historic Central Ohio neighborhood

‘Influencer’ couple announces opening date of stunning coffee shop in historic Central Ohio neighborhood

The couple has maintained the spectacular, initial windows of the structures, dating back to 1910, and their wonderful design is influenced by some of their favorite coffee bar in Brooklyn. With the aid of the German-based interior design company, Rowe, the room is, “Inspired by the symbolism of the resilient wildflower; organic structures, stands out of color and floral forms will be woven right into the space against the extra neutral backdrop of the building shell. Distinctive plaster, glazed clay tile, cozy timbers, concentrated intense shades, floral lights and flower formed wallpaper.”

They’re opening their own special place, “for individuals to collect,” Kayla stated. “We want individuals to really feel seen, and we want the Westerville neighborhood to feel like we produced this place for them to gather. We don’t desire individuals to ever before really feel lonesome.”

They relocated to Westerville from Nashville throughout the pandemic, deciding on the Columbus residential area after recognizing many of their enjoyed ones and close friends currently lived below. While in Nashville, Kayla and Mike stated they felt lonesome. And also years prior to that, while taking a trip the globe as influencers, they would usually search for a sense of belonging in coffee shops in various cities, still not quite finding that community they were looking for.

Mike and Kayla Tompkins have been featured on The Ellen Program, The Today Program, on a Jennifer Hudson song, and they also coped with the star songs producer and rapper, Timbaland, in Miami. They have actually also stayed in Canada, L.A., and Nashville, and have taken a trip the globe as “influencers,” first getting their beginning after Mike’s acapella videos went viral on Youtube.

As a lot as we like a rather coffee shop, the real coffee has to be good, too. They’ll be including a rotation of roasters, and when they open, espresso from both Florin and Royal Flamingo Coffee will certainly be featured, alongside cool brew from Brootlegg, and drip coffee from the St. Pete roaster, Look Alive.
