Sure, we all live by a Starbucks or a Dunkin, but where’s the fun in that?
Small, locally-owned coffee shops tend to focus on the quality of their product AND have unique flavors. Not to mention shopping local creates revenue for the local economy and creates additional jobs!
As a locally owned small business ourselves, WMNKND is on a mission to spread the good news of shopping local. With the gifting season fast approaching, we wanted to share a round up of our favorite coffee shops to snag a gift card from AND some of our favorite drinks.
