NICKEL SPECIAL Beer and a Shot $5!

A family tradition

My grandfather, John E. Dickens Sr., purchased this building in 1949 to support his family through John E. Dickens & Sons Barber Shop. My grandmother, Dorothy, also had a cafe on the corner. My Parents, Morris Sr. and Mary Hollinshed operated a neighborhood pub in the building. Over the years, several family members have operated businesses, as well.

​

It is with gratitude and humility that I am pleased to open a community coffee shop and jazz parlor in December 2018.

​

The Covid pandemic was hard on all of us and we had to put the safety of our customers and community first. Unfortunately, we had to close the doors for a season, BUT WE ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN BEFORE!
