More Than Coffee
A neighborhood gathering place built by family, fueled by great coffee, and rooted in community.
As teenagers, we always joked about opening a coffee shop "one day." It was one of those dreams you talk about but never really expect to happen.
After Jacob graduated from college, he struggled to find a job in his field. One day, he looked at Amber and asked, "What if we really do start a coffee shop?"
The same day, Amber quit her job as a bank teller.
About a year later, The Underground opened its doors.
Looking back, it's hard to believe how quickly everything happened. We didn't have all the answers, but we knew we wanted to build something meaningful for our community.
Learning Along the Way
If we're being honest, we had no idea what we were doing when we started.
We had to learn everything from the ground up: how to run a business, how to pull a great shot of espresso, how to steam silky microfoam, how to lead a team, and how to create an experience that kept people coming back.
We've made mistakes. We've celebrated wins. We've learned lessons the hard way. Every challenge has helped shape The Underground into the place it is today.
The journey hasn't always been easy, but it's been worth every step.
Family-Owned. Community-Focused.
Working alongside your siblings every day definitely comes with its moments.
Thankfully, we're a close family. The laughs, the friendly banter, and the occasional disagreements have all become part of who we are. Many of our regular customers have watched our family grow over the years, and in many ways, they've become part of it too.
Relationships have always been at the heart of what we do.
We love remembering your favorite drink, celebrating life's milestones with you, providing a place to work when you need a change of scenery, and creating opportunities for our community to gather together.
That's what makes this place special.
