Coffee is an emulsifier for relationships. I learned that years ago when working in the vast beautiful frozen tundra of Alaska. It’s not just about the caffeine… a lot of times it was just as much about the atmosphere - the sensation you feel when the air is cold, your keys are jingling as you slide them into the door knob to turn the chilled handle and be welcomed by the flooding sensations and aroma of fresh roasted beans filling the air. The dopamine releasing decor of your work space and tranquility that envelops your soul when you take that first sip of a quality cup of coffee. That unique vibe in the air when conversations sound waves become the mutual grounds for shared mornings between two people caught serendipitously together over a cup of coffee before starting a standard work day.

Imagine having the freedom and capability to take these sensations and memorable moments and let them happen almost anywhere, or, at least, everywhere you can park a trailer.

Put yourself in the situation, it’s a brisk Saturday morning at your local farmers market. Your cheeks and nose are rosy from the Autumn chill and approaching Winter. You shuffle among other members of our community holding your fall harvest assortment and stumble across a aesthetically pleasing mobile cafe parked along side other aspiring entrepreneurs, you walk up to find individuals just like yourself, caught in a moment of unexpected social exchange between the ordinary hustle and bustle of your days. You can hear everyone ordering one by one their custom concoction of liquid gold ranging from Americanos, Mochas, Chais and Teas plus so much more. It’s your turn. You step up to the plate and to your surprise the menu is easy to read and your choices are endless.

Sounds nice, right?

Its these experiences that fueled the fire to found The Brees Knees Coffee Co. and bring a taste of home to Pottsville. We’ve chosen a design concept that will bring a whimsical warmth to cherished memories as you walk the side walks hand in hand on a first date with hot cocoas as those first snow flakes drift to the ground. When you’re enjoying the hot summer sun with your iced caramel macchiato and your little ones have tiny “coffees” in their hands to be just like mommy. We want to be a part of this community and the Pottsville Family as a whole.

What once started as a dream has quickly become a reality. I plunged into the unknown waters of business. Enrolled in college and have achieved my Coffee Shop Ownership Certification accompanied by a Manager Certification through the International Associations of Career Professionals.

We’ve purchased a EIN through the IRS, spent countless hours unpaid, preparing and pre-planning my execution plan.
