About the Owner of
Moonflower Coffee Collective
My affinity for coffee and community traces back to my childhood, where I fondly observed my family congregating around my grandmother's dining room table. There, amidst a large pot of coffee and an abundance of desserts, they engaged in hours of conversation about everything and nothing. The warmth of that community, the laughter, the tears – I distinctly recall those moments, never wanting them to end. I wasn't alone in this sentiment; no one was eager to be the first to leave the table.
As time passed, we eventually made our way to the front door, bellies full and hearts warmed. I've always been captivated by the "story" behind things – a person's narrative, the origin of a piece of furniture, and its unique tale. Over the years, I've crafted spaces where friends and family can gather, fostering an environment of safety and freedom to share. My aim has always been to recreate the feelings from my grandmothers' homes, right down to the patterned sofa, flourishing gardens, and homemade pastries. This vision came to life in my 1870s farmhouse, affectionately named Moonflower Farm.
After numerous curated dinners, wine nights, backyard gatherings, and vintage pop-ups in the barn, my desire to share this experience intensified. When the opportunity arose to move into a brick-and-mortar storefront in charming Sharonville, Ohio, next to The Book Bus Depot Bookstore, I felt it was destiny. Stepping into Moonflower Coffee Collective, I want you to feel like a guest in my home. Whether you grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, peruse the art and home decor, or find comfort on the sofa or at the harvest table with friends, I hope the atmosphere is welcoming.
The integration of art, home decor, and curated events – such as live music, workshops, and food tastings – aims to add depth and variety to the experience. We want to ensure there's always something new and exciting for guests to enjoy. We're thrilled to embark on this collective journey with each of you, creating a space where people can connect, discover unique goods, share stories, and break bread together.
Warm regards,
Stephanie Berry
Moonflower’s Mission & Vision
We're excited to announce that our shop area is set to open soon, featuring items from Real Life Curated and other carefully selected brands. While we prepare for the grand opening of the shop, we're diligently working on bringing together an eclectic array of products to offer our customers. Our next phase will introduce a cozy coffee bar, where patrons can enjoy expertly brewed beverages. As we navigate through the final stages of securing city permits, our team of skilled baristas from across the region is gearing up to master the equipment and craft exceptional coffee experiences for our guests.
Following the coffee bar's launch, we'll eagerly await the necessary permits to introduce a selection of wines and alcoholic beverages. In the meantime, we'll be serving delightful mocktails, ensuring that every visit to our establishment is filled with flavor and enjoyment.
Beyond merely a place to shop and grab a drink, we're committed to integrating art, home decor, and curated events into our space. From live music performances to enriching workshops and tantalizing food tastings, there will always be something fresh and engaging for our guests to experience. Our goal is to create a dynamic environment where people can connect, discover unique treasures, exchange stories, and share meals together.
We're thrilled to embark on this collective journey with each of you, as we strive to build a vibrant community hub. Together, let's cultivate a space where meaningful connections are forged, and memorable moments are made.
