In this episode of The Localist, Mitch and Maddie McEver share how Whammy Coffee grew from a playful weekend project — complete with toy dinosaurs and nostalgic branding — into a thriving Birmingham café. What began as a creative roasting experiment evolved through pop-ups, coffee carts and shared entrepreneurial dreams into a brick-and-mortar shop in the Denham Building.
