On a cold morning, is there anything better than a cup of hot coffee?

 When you’re not quite awake yet and it all seems too much? A little caffeine to boost and brighten your morning, served with a smile, could make all the difference. Georgette’s Grounds and Gifts promises exactly that coffee served with a smile. Georgette’s is a local coffee shop in Maumee, Ohio. Everybody loves a good cup of coffee, but local coffee hits a little bit differently. There are a few reasons to drink at a local coffee shop instead of a big chain brand.

 

That is accurate! All of Georgette's coffee is roasted locally in Maumee. The coffee beans were sorted and packaged at the Engels' home in Maumee. At Georgette's, every cup of coffee is freshly made throughout the day to give it the finest body and aroma. Local roasting ensures the highest level of quality. Large coffee shops usually have an unwelcoming atmosphere. Every site is identical and lacks distinguishing characteristics. The surroundings of large chain coffee shops are bland. The situation is very different at Georgette's. Our location is warm and inviting. We would prefer that you stay here. Local coffee shops are brimming with personality and the spirit of the community.

Georgette’s Grounds and Coffee is a member of the Sunshine Communities and proudly employs adults with developmental disabilities. Each purchase at Georgette’s supports growers in developing countries and promotes sustainability too. It’s more than just a cup of delicious coffee - your generosity supports farmers and artisans and helps contribute to the livelihood of people with developmental disabilities. those are five things that your big box coffee shops couldn’t provide for you. Local shops care for you individually as a neighbor and a patron. They give back to your community. When you drink coffee at a local shop rather than a chain, you’re giving back to your community, too! And when you drink at Georgette’s, you are supporting growers, farmers, artisans, and people with developmental disabilities all at the same time. And let’s not forget, Georgette’s is coffee served with a smile. That alone makes it worth the trip, right.

You help your neighborhood rather than lining the pockets of millionaires. If you spend your money in your hometown, it is more likely to stay there. In the long run, as a resident of the city in which you currently live, this encourages economic development, which will be advantageous to you. Purchases are passed back up the chain by large chains of retailers. Chain stores determine their corporate prices, which are valid at all of their locations across the world. Such is not the case with local coffee businesses! Prices for local businesses are determined by what their customers can and cannot afford.
