About Us
Julie and I moved to Indiana from North Carolina in early 2003 to open The Commonplace Coffeehouse & Roastery. I had just finished a graduate degree in Philosophy. Julie had worked as a social worker.
We decided to take a trip in our 1974 Volkswagen Bus. Part of the purpose of the trip was to find a small town in which to open a coffeehouse.
During the trip a friend called to tell us about Indiana, PA and a possible place to open the coffeehouse. After two trips, we were convinced that this was the place where we wanted to open a place where people could come together to study, hangout, or meet.
The Commonplace Coffeehouse & Roastery opened in March 2003.
We have since had out first baby, Soren, who was born in December 2003.
