The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce helped Moony's Coffee celebrate a ribbon-cutting Friday morning.
Co-owners Liz Generaux and Maggie Johnson say they are excited for the business to be part of the community. "It's been such a surreal experience to do this. And we're so excited to start a community downtown with coffee and friends."
The coffee shop is a women-owned business that’s locally sourced. Flavors are homemade to ensure quality ingredients and taste. Johnson adds, "We use a couple different roasters, Global Citizens and also Burr Roasters in Leavenworth. We also just hired five employees to help with the coffee shop."
The grand opening is officially Saturday, Feb 14. Moony's Coffee will be open from 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. that day.
Regular hours will be 6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Saturday hours will be 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The business is closed Thursdays and Sundays.
It was noted that after the grand opening on Saturday, Moony's will be closed the week of Feb. 16 for ongoing construction. Generaux says they hope to be open the week after.
Moony's Coffee is located at 510 Edmond St.
