Prim’s Cafe, a new coffee shop in Shaw, is the dream of Ashley Blake. Formerly a hotel sales manager, Blake wanted to create a welcoming space for families, inspired by her daughter. The cafe serves a simple menu of pastries, coffee, and unique matcha drinks. It aims to revitalize the neighborhood while providing a cozy atmosphere.
• The cafe features pastries from the Black woman-owned bakery Sook, including cinnamon rolls and chocolate croissants.
• Coffee is sourced from Ethiopian beans roasted by Adee’s Coffee Roasters, offering a full espresso bar and signature lavender lattes.
• Unique matcha drinks are available, with options like blueberry and chai twists.
• Prim’s Cafe includes a special area called “Prim’s Parlor” for kids and parents, designed to feel homey and inviting.
This cafe matters because it not only serves delicious food and drinks but also fosters community connections. It provides a space where families can relax and enjoy time together, breaking away from the sterile feel of many modern cafes. Prim’s Cafe is a refreshing addition to Shaw, promoting both comfort and creativity.
