A new coffee shop, Koinonia Coffeehouse, is set to open in Cloquet, aiming to create a welcoming space for the community. Owned by Chris and Angie Carey, who previously worked as missionaries, the shop is inspired by their experiences on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The name "Koinonia" reflects their goal of fostering Christian fellowship. The coffeehouse will offer a cozy atmosphere with vintage decor and a variety of food and drink options.
• Koinonia Coffeehouse will feature classic café drinks sourced from a South Dakota roastery, with a portion of proceeds supporting orphans.
• The menu includes homemade breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and lunch specials, along with a selection of plant-based energy drinks.
• The shop will also sell locally made candles and merchandise, with profits going to Kingdom Builders Ministries.
• The Careys are committed to running the shop with their family and community support.
This coffeehouse matters because it aims to strengthen community ties and provide a gathering place for locals. It embodies the Careys' vision of creating a warm, inviting environment where people can connect and share experiences. The shop not only serves coffee but also supports charitable causes, making it a meaningful addition to Cloquet.
