You’ve had a solid run, Josie Greer as our baker at Mayfly Coffee. You’ve made some killer scones, expanded our gluten free offerings all the while with a work ethic that is unparalleled. When most High School Juniors and Seniors were still sleeping you were up countless early mornings going up on the mountain to bake your…

K E N Z I E
When she was in 8th grade she stepped behind our cash register at Cadence Coffee on 7th and started taking orders. She learned the skills she needed to become an excellent barista and equally excellent manager at not one but two locations. When I asked her to take the manager role at Mayfly she took the role…

Disclaimer: This post is nearly three times longer than my typical posts. I’ve had several folks reach out and ask how we are doing, and haven’t really had the words to express.

I’ve told the story a thousand times about a brief conversation I had with my wife, as we were making plans to move to Chattanooga to plant a church almost 10 years ago. It went something like this: Me: Wouldn’t it be cool to one day have a church AND a coffee shop downtown Chattanooga?…

Chuck The Chicken
Its part of our morning routine. As I take Jayden to school, we get up on the freeway, and we both look hard to see if we can see Chuck – the Chicken. Chuck is actually probably Charlotte or Chloe, but we named her Chuck one morning, and since then that’s the name that stuck.…

Lynn
There’s just something special about the name “Lynn.” My wife’s middle name is “Lynn.” My daughter is Madi”lynn.” And one of the dearest friends I have is named “Lynn.” A couple of years ago she came walking in to Cadence, introduced herself, “Hi, I’m Lynn, and I would love to volunteer here at Cadence.” At…

When we opened Cadence, almost seven years ago, we prayed that it would be a place where conversations…
