Our Story

A new chapter,same village.

Trisha and Justin took the keys in March 2026 from Pamela, who poured Duck Road's first espresso decades ago. Same village, same beans, a few new flavors — and a few more hats on the wall.

We moved here for the village. Now we get to be part of it every morning — pulling shots before sunrise, watching the same families come back year after year.
