Trade Craft Coffee Roasters has opened its first brick-and-mortar location in Southern Pines after years of serving customers from a mobile coffee truck around the Sandhills. The shop held a soft opening on Nov. 4 and invited local coffee enthusiasts to visit the new storefront.
Owners Chadwick and Danielle Wahinekapu have spent months preparing the space and transitioning their mobile veteran-owned business into a full café. There’s a latte love about the new shop, which is in the same building that was previously Frankie’s Southern Grinds on Old U.S. Highway 1.
Trade Craft has built a following with its small-batch specialty roasts, espresso drinks, and cold brew on tap. The couple said on Facebook that the permanent location offers room to expand their menu and create a consistent space for coffee lovers to gather.
