In the second episode of the Glia’s Coffee Co. Podcast, we sit down with Deven James McCoy, our new Creative Director, to explore his unique approach to coffee, creativity, and community. With a background in both art and the barista world, Deven brings a rare perspective to crafting drinks that are as much about precision as they are about passion. We talk about his deep appreciation for the craftsmanship of coffee, from pulling the perfect shot of espresso to crafting a flawless cortado—because every detail matters when it comes to making a truly exceptional drink.

Deven also shares how his veganism has influenced his creativity, not just in his personal life but in how he approaches recipe-building for the coffee world. The problem-solving and innovation he’s honed while creating plant-based dishes has translated directly into developing unique, flavorful drinks at Glia’s. We also dive into the culture at Glia’s, where our regulars are more like family, and every cup of coffee is an opportunity to connect with our community. Deven explains how we’re working to elevate specialty coffee, making it accessible to all without sacrificing its special artistry.

Tune in for an insightful conversation about the art of coffee, the creative process, and the vibrant culture that makes Glia’s Coffee Co. special.
