Have you ever walked into a space and instantly felt a sense of peace—like everything just clicked into place? Yesterday I visited the Washington IL Faire Coffee Shop. What I experienced was just that – an instant sense of peace. The tables were full, the conversations were buzzing, and the shop was alive with energy and conversation. So much so that I found myself sitting in the back foyer while sipping on a perfectly crafted decaf latte admiring the commotion.

There’s something about seeing the shop full of people that always fills my heart to the brim. It’s not just that we get to artfully serve coffee; I’m proud of how we’ve created a space where community thrives. When I watch our kitchen team work together seamlessly—Rebekah slicing bread, Ruby prepping for the next day, and Ashley tackling inventory—it’s such a beautiful reminder of what Faire Coffee is all about. Coffee, Community, Connection.

We’ve faced our share of challenges this year with equipment issues and the usual unpredictabilities of running a business. But in moments like these, it all feels worth it. I’m reminded that this is exactly where God wants me to be. Serving you and serving our community – it’s both a privilege and a joy.

So, what fills your cup? Is it a quiet moment with a latte in hand, or is it the laughter of friends gathered around a table? At Faire Coffee, we hope to be a small but meaningful part of your day, whether you’re grabbing coffee before school drop-off or catching up with a friend.
