Ep. 127 - The Cup Overfloweth - Ft. Hunter Forman and Aaron Quinn of Village Coffee in Sulphur, Louisiana - Find the Good News with Oran Parker
It's not uncommon for a business to attach itself to a pre-existing cause or social effort that affects the common good. Sometimes, the business itself is a crucial ingredient to a passionate mission equal to, perhaps even surpasses, the business's service or product. Village Coffee in Sulphur, Louisiana, is a lovely café located in the perfect location to serve equally excellent helpings of product and purpose.
In this episode, I visited with Village Coffee manager Hunter Forman and co-owner Aaron Quinn to learn more about the importance of their unique venue, the "name your price" items on the Village Coffee menu, and how dishing out dignity to all of the people of Sulphur, Louisiana is roasted into every bean, and baked into every bite.
Sulphur is my hometown, and it's been my observation that we're as guilty of pride and prejudice as any other city in the United States. Like many, we have underserved citizens in specific regions who require the same attention, resources, and compassion as anyone else.
From day one, Village Coffee has provided a compassionate space with an attitude of grace, where the overlooked or down-on-their-luck can enjoy a hot gourmet roast or meal alongside their more affluent neighbors. Hunter and Aaron are clear that they can't serve the cup of gladness without help from the regular customers and patrons of Village Coffee, who regularly pay it forward for their fellow citizens.
No matter which side of the tracks you travel in from, within the historic walls of Village Coffee, you can eat, drink, be well, and be seen.
So, I invite you to sit down with your own hot cup of coffee and let my conversation with Hunter and Aaron warm your heart. Now, let's queue the music and press play on a little good news.
