We know that most of you have seen the newspaper article. Or the posts about the sale. And if you have not had the chance to meet us in person. We would like to share a bit about us with you…
Meet your new owners
We are Sam and Katie Pickens, and we’re so excited for this new chapter in our lives.
Sam grew up in Milwaukee and has previous food service experience as a general manager at Jersey Mike’s and café manager at Outpost Foods. Katie is a life-long resident of Waukesha and has spent her career in medicine as a registered nurse. Our love of beekeeping sparked the start of Buzzy Bees Honey in 2016. The Village of Waukesha is where we call home. Together, we have what we like to call a Brady Bunch family. Only two children are left at home and we have several adult children in the Milwaukee area, including two college students at UW-Milwaukee and Illinois State. A pit bull named Barry and our cats, Milo and Zoey, round out the household. Family wouldn’t be complete without giving a shout-out to parents, siblings, cousins, and nieces and nephews that have supported us along the way.
If you don’t see us at the coffee house, we can be found caring for beehives, our chickens, and working in the garden. You’ll also find us at the Waukesha Farmers Market and various events around the Southeastern Wisconsin area, Six Flags, or on a family road trip.
We have lots of ideas going forward. Please watch for an upcoming grand reopening announcement along with evening events in the coming colder months. Cold-pressed juice will be coming this next week.
Please come in, grab a latte and sandwich, and visit with us. Or, feel free to reach out via phone, email or social media. We welcome community support and suggestions any time.
Thank you so very much for the warm welcome and your continued support as we navigate this fun adventure.
