MaKayla and Carson are intentional about having a place where people can pursue what they consider the lost art of “gathering.” That is, being present in the moment while embracing the people you are with. “It’s a place for people just to ‘be.’ Whatever that looks like,” explained Carson. For the couple, being present looks like refusing to have TVs in the space, and
cherishing every moment with both their staff and their customers. While MaKayla makes drinks, trains the baristas, brainstorms, and takes care of the organizational side of things, Carson is in charge of the kitchen. “I never went to culinary school, but I’ve always enjoyed cooking for the people I love. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about,” said Carson.
“He would be at home making homemade noodles on a random Tuesday or something,” MaKayla laughed. The pair has a passion for bringing in global flavors and making them palatable for everyone. “We take traditional dishes and spice them up a bit, adding some healthy factors we think people would enjoy, while not realizing it’s quietly healing them as well,” said Carson.
