WEBSTER GROVES, Mo. — Whether morning or afternoon, nothing soothes the soul quite like a cup of coffee. With some flowers on the side, too! Welcome to May Pop Coffee and Garden Shop.
“The whole concept was about a place that serves coffee as the doormat to plants,” says Mackenzie Leek, Director of Marketing and Events.
Maypop Coffee and Garden Shop was founded in 2018 by 3 friends with 2 interests. Coffee and gardening. Tammy Behm, alongside Laura Tetley and Laura Caldie, opened the shop in an old historic home in Webster Groves.
This neighborhood hub quickly became a place of nourishment for the heart and the soil! Longtime customer Kim Sanders and her pup, Kit, frequent the shop 3 to 4 times a week!
“Well the combination is simply amazing. Where else can you go for a cup of coffee and delicious pastries and head over to the greenhouse and just enjoy everything that is there,” says Sanders. “The people are what make it, just delightful wonderful people, super friendly.”
