Busy Nothings Coffee Company: a locally owned specialty coffee shop

OUR NAME

I have long enjoyed using the phrase "busy nothings since my first reading of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. I often use it to refer to life's seemingly insignificant, everyday activities.

Truth is, i believe even life's most common activities can be infused with great meaning and purpose.  Classic example? - sitting down with a cup of coffee. First dates, business meetings, heartfelt connection between friends, to name a few, all can occur with a cuppa nearby.

~Lady Carroll

OUR MISSION

Our vision is to create a community around coffee that celebrates the past whilst reaching toward the future.  

Our mission is to CAFFEINATE, EDUCATE AND INNOVATE
