    America's Coffee Shops: Serving A Cup of Community
    Jan 13 2026

    What makes a neighborhood coffee shop more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee? In our first episode of The Off The Menu, we sit down with Colin Gawel, owner of Colin’s Coffee, to talk about how a simple shop can become the heartbeat of a community. From familiar faces to first-time visitors, it’s a story about connection, conversation, and why it’s never just about what’s in the cup—it’s about who’s across the table.
