The team behind New Wave Coffee is opening a roasting and education center to the public later this year.
The location will serve multiple functions: roast delicious coffee beans, sell aforementioned beans to the people of Chattanooga and host classes to expand coffee knowledge for those interested in learning more about the process (whether they work in the hospitality industry or want to improve their pour-over at home).
Luke Pigott, director of coffee at New Wave, told me in a phone interview about all the plans in store for the brick-and-mortar location at 2405 Lyndon Ave. in the White Oak community of Red Bank.
“We also really appreciate the area of White Oak,” Pigott said, “and we’re trying to create a little more energy and be a part of other businesses that are providing a bit of identity to White Oak as its own thing.”
