Dave Smithman, the owner of Yellow Dog Coffee Roasters, started his coffee journey with a simple popcorn popper. His passion for coffee grew over the years, leading him to create a thriving business. Recently, he and his wife opened a coffee shop in Stafford, showcasing their unique roasts and diverse menu.
• Smithman began roasting coffee at home, gradually upgrading his equipment to meet demand.
• The new shop features a large roaster that can handle 30 pounds of beans at once.
• A wide variety of coffee options are available, from classic drip to creative flavored drinks.
• The shop also offers food items, including breakfast sandwiches and baked goods.
This venture is significant as it reflects the growing trend of local coffee shops becoming community hubs. Smithman’s dedication to quality and variety not only satisfies coffee lovers but also creates a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy.
