Chatham Coffee Tour

Most Chatham storefronts go dark after Labor Day. Cheryl Murray drives in from Connecticut every other week to keep hers open.

Barb Garside hosts Chatham Coffee Tour and works as a Broker Associate with eXp Realty Luxury and Coastal Chatham, specializing in luxury coastal real estate on Cape Cod. She spends her days explaining to buyers what the Chatham community actually looks like in February, which is the question this conversation answers from the other side of the counter.

Cheryl signed the lease at 403 Main Street the same day she first walked through it, after driving past the empty flower boxes on a winter weekend and deciding on the spot. She talks about why IV therapy became the busiest surprise of the Chatham location, the six months she and her business partner spent researching GLP-1s before agreeing to prescribe them, and what her older son said the night before the opening party.
