Yuuuuuup you can definitely see the owner sporting a “Ronald Reagan” T-shirt upon visiting his store. I felt so awkward because I was the only one in and DIDNOT want to support anymore terrible Springfield business owners so bought a cheap coffee and never returned.

Lol well thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely check this place out and judge them by their coffee and atmosphere rather than a shirt.

Ugh, thought so. I googled the shop to see and its the same one. If i remember right their social media profiles got slammed because they were covid hoaxers, anti-vaxx, and pro Jan 6ers, but theyve kept their heads down since mostly.

The reopening was actually under a new owner

Hopefully this owner is less crazy at least. I know im asking a lot for this area though.

The old owner didn't want you to use creamer, so they didn't offer it. Was my favorite thing to get coffee and go straight to my car and load it up with half n half in full view, defiant and brave... Felt so alive.

Coffee elitist and Jan6 crazy... honestly that tracks, most "coffee should be drank black, no sugar or creamer" types tend to fall on that side of the political spectrum.

Speaking of feeling alive, I ended up doing my best to humiliate one of those "Repent now or burn in hell" baptist types that hold signs saying such at a local festival the other day. That was fun. Paraded around for a minute with them yelling things like "Hail Satan, our dark lord and savior" and such. They were redfaced and pissed off by the time i got bored. Plenty of high fives and fist bumps were had.

They really didn’t want you taking anything to-go at all so I would bring in my yeti and dump it in while they watched

I found the new owner on social media. He's the head of a couple of small Republican groups in the area. He hasn't been active on social media (as far as I can tell) since 2018, so I don't know his opinion on COVID or January 6th, but I could probably guess...
