I talk with Audrey and Christopher Benninghoff owners of Far West Coffee a coffee shop in  Midland, Texas. 

As they unveil their personal tales of transformation and community building, you'll be captivated by their warmth and the way they've intertwined their lives with the love for coffee. 

We discuss the early morning dedication it takes to run a boutique coffee shop, the art of bean sourcing, and roasting, as well as the joy of creating a space that feels like home to everyone  who walks through their door. 

The couple's commitment to no drive-throughs and the creation of an immersive experience is a testament to their belief in savoring life's little moments.

Christopher talks through how he ended up perfecting the chocolate croissant which revealed a love for baking. 

The Benninghoffs take us on a tour of their inviting coffee shop, which doubles as a vibrant hub for Midland's locals and visitors alike. They've managed to create an oasis where connection is brewed alongside coffee, and where their journey from dream to reality inspires us all.
