Cadence Coffee Co. co-owner Shannon Greer and his business partners aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel with the recently opened coffee shop.
Cadence Coffee Co. co-owner Shannon Greer greets customers at the counter.Instead of pursuing a trendy approach, Greer said the shop’s mission is to simply provide Patten Parkway, the surrounding businesses and UTC’s campus with a classic community coffee shop.
“There are two main concepts that are the pillars of our vision – quality coffee and creating a place for relationships and community,” he said.
Located at 16 Patten Parkway, Cadence Coffee Co. provides a variety of coffee and espresso drinks, alternative brewing methods like pour-over or French press and some prepackaged breakfast items like yogurt and granola. Greer said management is also looking into expanding the menu to potentially include pastries baked in house and breakfast sandwiches.
“But coffee is king of the hill here,” he said. “We never want to compromise our commitment to excellent coffee.”
