In early 2002, our Saint Peter location was created by our founder, Tamika Bertram, as a space to house a dynamic community.  It was nourished at its core through years of ethical and conscious purchasing decisions and the unbridled enjoyment of joyfully crafted beverages and nourishing plates of food.  

We were built on a foundation that dared to suggest that being caring, considerate, and thoughtful of our earth and the people around us did make business sense.  Slowly, we grew, expanded, and stretched and thanks to the support of our community, we thrived.  

In January 2016 our sister company, River Rock Kitchen & Baking Co., a wholesale kitchen and bakery in St. Peter, Minnesota was born.  RRKB sources as many local, organic, and seasonal ingredients as possible and continues the practice of making our organic bakery and artisan bread from scratch.

In the summer of 2019, we opened our second location in our neighboring community of Downtown Mankato.

In all choices, then and now, we seek to honor ourselves and our employees, the sustainability of our earth, including our local food and global coffee sources, and the health of our world's farmers.
