It’s a wrap! We would like to extend much gratitude for everyone who visited and supported us during our 11 years in business. Thank you for supporting our dream of being Smyrna’s coffee shop! We had so much fun serving each and everyone of you. While we are sad we have to say goodbye for now, we will look back fondly on the memories and experiences that were made here ❤️☕️

Greetings! As we prepare to close our doors this Saturday, we wanted to make this week’s specialty drink something a little more personalized. You can either tell us what you want, or we’ll help you out and craft something amazing for you to remember us by. Again, thank you for all of your love and support. We will miss each and every one of you who have walked through our doors. Be sure to stop by and let’s end this week on a high note. Thank you, Smyrna! ☕️🫶🏻

Hey, friends! We have some bad news to match with the dreary weather today. We have decided that we are permanently closing the doors to the Cafe. Our last day will be Saturday, August 3rd. We want to publicly thank our food partner, The Sweet Addiction, for sourcing us with creative and delicious treats for our dessert case. We would also like to thank the public for joining us in our vision for what Front Street could become, and we watched it happen through our fancy front windows. Lastly, we would like to thank every single person who has walked through our door. Your support has meant the world to us and we could not be more thankful for each and every one of you. Please stop by tomorrow, next Thursday, Friday, or Saturday to say hello/goodbye. Try something new, grab one last drink, or stock up on your favorite coffee beans. Thank you, everyone. It’s been a blast.

While we love our iced drinks during hot weather season, sometimes all you want is a steaming cup of coffee. We have your choice of Carpe Grog, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, or “Jamaican Me Crazy”

About the blends~
Carpe Grog- a bolder blend that features hints of rum and vanilla flavors. It’s described by our employees as “ comfort in a cup”

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe- a medium blend that keeps the coffee bean in its purest form. Perfect for coffee purists!

“ Jamaican Me Crazy”- This one boasts a delightful blend of Kahlua carmel and vanilla. Since it’s introduction, it’s been a popular choice among our customers!

No matter which blend you choose, you will receive a comforting “ hug in a mug!”
