Prairie House Coffee, a coffee shop in Oakland, Florida, has opened a new industrial roastery space in a warehouse district between College Park and the Packing District. While the priority for the space was industrial roasting, the team realized they could also offer a limited public-facing drink program to allow customers to try new and unique coffee flavors through pour-over options. The roastery is owned by sisters Alexa Maisonet and Jade Dinsdale-Cyr, who sought to recreate the experience of gathering around the table for coffee and conversation that they grew up with in Canada.

Why it matters

The opening of Prairie House Coffee's new roastery space provides an opportunity for the public to engage with the coffee roasting process and try unique coffee offerings in a more industrial, yet welcoming, setting. This aligns with the company's mission to introduce customers to new coffee experiences beyond the typical sugary or seasonal drinks.

What they’re saying

“If you wanted to try something new, maybe you want to step outside your comfort zone, like a coffee with notes of grape and pear. You don't want to buy a whole bag. We'll happily make you a pour-over so you can try it. If you like it, then you might buy a bag.”

— Rachel Sparks, Roastery Manager

“Their grandmother had a little house in the prairies in Canada. After dinner, they would drink coffee and have little pastries and sit around the table and talk and socialize. They want you to feel like you're just walking into somebody's home when you go in there. That's really important to us, that we make you feel very welcome whenever you're in our space.”

— Rachel Sparks, Roastery Manager

“I think it's really fun to introduce people to a side of coffee that they might not see all the time. This won't really be the location where you're going to come in and get a sugar cookie or pumpkin spice latte, but it will be a place where you can come in and learn about coffee.”

— Rachel Sparks, Roastery Manager
