Welcome to Covid Coffee Chronicles episode 63 Creativity and Covid 19

Today we are talking to Login and Bonita Smith, and Nick and Jessica Terell. They are the owners of Ember Goods Coffee store in Olympia WA. We last interviewed Nick and Bonita on season 2 episode 56 If You Give a Mouse a Hairdryer. This week we have all four of the owners present on a conference call to update us on how they are surviving the pandemic.

With Nick's talent as an accomplished woodworker, and professional photographers Login and Bonita, they transformed a dark and dingy tattoo parlor into a Pacific Northwest inspired  original one of a kind store. This location draws artisans of all types. Think of a scaled down community centered REI with leather couches, local art, books, and beauty products including beard wax! I purchased Bawston & Tucker Solid Cologne  while we were there but I am sadly running out! OK guys are you listening?  I am running out! As far as their clothing line goes, soft, comfortable and stylish with a North Woods flair, what else could you ask for!  Can you tell I love this store? Now how about the coffee! Small batch roasted in Morton WA. Whatever the specialty drink you may want, they will make it for you. Don’t leave without trying my favorite beverage, with turmeric,ginger, honey, cinnamon, clove,hemp milk and espresso. We tried to wheedle the recipe out of them, but trade secrets and all no such luck.

Currently you can’t come in to order your favorite drink but you can still support Ember Goods. In order to keep their business afloat Ember Goods enlisted the help of  Kickstarter to raise money. Within a range of pledges the public could receive everything from coffee beans, merchandise, art, photo and wedding shoots, night stays at an adorable B & B,and even  a day spent in Nick’s wood shop learning how to make his signature piece. Fortunately with 207 donors they have now reached their goal.  So now you need to go to https://www.Embergoods.com and  check out their available products/merchandise and coffee for online orders.

When this pandemic is over stop in and say hi to Logan,Bonita, Nick and Jessica, from the Cross Country Coffee Roadshow.

And did I mention I am running out of my Bawston & Tucker Solid Cologne?
