Hi, I’m Maddie. I’m 22 & have always dreamed of opening a coffee shop. I have worked in cafés for 4 years now and loved every minute of it! As an only child, my Mom Jaina struggled to find purpose when I moved to Colorado. She and my Dad own a business already, so she started brainstorming ideas on what small business she could open & be passionate about. The idea started with a boba tea shop since there’s nothing like that in our small town. It escalated to a smaller scale coffee shop when she told me (still living in CO) about it, & turns out I was ready to move on and do something different as well. With my knowledge on coffee and hers on business, we decided to take the plunge and jump into a full menu coffee and boba tea shop. Boy are we glad we did!! With lots of help from my dad and long time family friend, it took 8 months from dropping the idea to opening day. With a fully renovated little shop, we opened our doors December 3rd 2021 and haven’t slowed down since. Our customers make this job so fantastic and we both absolutely LOVE what we do. Thank you for supporting our small business and reading our story!! See you in Sage Coffee!
