In this episode, I sat down with Jamie Deniro, owner of Kornerstone Coffee, at the East Aurora café to learn about her inspiring journey. Jamie shared how she grew up in Kenmore, pursued a career in accounting, and eventually took the leap into the coffee business. Starting with a roastery in the Millshire Building in Kenmore, she began selling coffee at farmers markets before expanding to cafés in East Aurora (2016) and Larkinville (2018). With a passion for high-quality coffee and meaningful customer interactions, Jamie’s commitment to sourcing beans responsibly and providing exceptional service has become the foundation of her success. Her cafés not only serve expertly roasted coffee but also feature cold-pressed juices, smoothies, salads, and other healthy, homemade offerings.

Jamie’s dedication to community shines through in every aspect of Kornerstone Coffee. From her participation in local farmers markets to offering personalized home deliveries, she’s built a business that feels personal and inviting. Jamie works closely with a coffee broker to ensure her beans are sourced ethically and sustainably, highlighting regions like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Central America. Whether you’re stopping by the East Aurora café at 33 Elm Street, the Larkinville location at 701 Seneca Street, or ordering coffee online, you’ll experience Kornerstone’s welcoming vibe and high-quality offerings.
