When you’re not quite awake yet and it all seems too much? A little caffeine to boost and brighten your morning, served with a smile, could make all the difference. Georgette’s Grounds and Gifts promises exactly that: coffee served with a smile. Georgette’s is a local coffee shop in Maumee, Ohio. Everybody loves a good cup of coffee, but local coffee hits a little bit differently. There are a few reasons to drink at a local coffee shop instead of a big chain brand.
1. At Georgette’s, all of the coffee is locally roasted
That’s right! All of Georgette’s coffee is locally roasted in Maumee. The coffee beans sorted and packaged at the Engel’s home in Maumee. Georgette’s brews their six most popular roasts fresh throughout the day so that each cup is poured with its fullest body and aroma. Roasting locally ensures the highest quality possible!
2. Homey Environment
Large coffee shops can often have an unwelcoming atmosphere. Every location is exactly the same and lacks personal touches. Big brand coffee shops have no personality in their locales. At Georgette’s, it is exactly the opposite. Our venue is warm and inviting. We want you to stay for a while! Local coffee shops are filled with personality and the vibrancy of the area.
3. Enriches Your City
When you frequent a local business, you aren’t lining the coffers of a millionaire, you’re giving back to your hometown. Money spent in your hometown is more likely to stay in your hometown. This encourages economic growth and will benefit you in the long-run, as a resident in your current city. Money spent in large chain stores goes back up the chain.
4. Affordable Prices
In chain stores, the prices are decided corporately and are the same for every store across the world. That is not the case with local coffee shops! Local shops know what their customers can and can’t pay and price accordingly. Goodbye, $6 coffee!
5. For a Good Cause
Georgette’s Grounds and Coffee is a member of the Sunshine Communities and proudly employs adults with developmental disabilities. Each purchase at Georgette’s supports growers in developing countries and promotes sustainability too. It’s more than just a cup of delicious coffee - your generosity supports farmers and artisans and helps contribute to the livelihood of people with developmental disabilities. That’s a lot in one cup!
See, those are five things that your big box coffee shops couldn’t provide for you. Local shops care for you individually as a neighbor and a patron. They give back to your community. When you drink coffee at a local shop rather than a chain, you’re giving back to your community, too! And when you drink at Georgette’s, you are supporting growers, farmers, artisans, and people with developmental disabilities all at the same time. And let’s not forget, Georgette’s is coffee served with a smile. That alone makes it worth the trip, right?
