🔥 From hot iron to hot coffee. ☕️

Welcome Blacksmith Coffee Co. to beautiful Historic Downtown Albany — and yes, the name fits the building perfectly! Their new home at 456 2nd Avenue SW was originally built as a blacksmith shop and served Albany in that role for decades.

More than a century later, there’s a different kind of craft happening inside these walls. The forge has gone quiet, the coffee is brewing, and one of Downtown Albany’s historic buildings is alive with business once again.

And when you visit, look closely at the brick wall outside. You can still find the old iron rings where horses were tethered while they waited to be shod. 🐴🔨 A little piece of Albany history still sitting right there in plain sight.

Come downtown, grab a cup, find the rings, and help us welcome Blacksmith Coffee Co. to the neighborhood. Old building. New business. Same Downtown spirit. ❤️

🐘 Ellsworth has been busy digging into Albany's history. We're not entirely sure how an elephant managed to turn the pages, but with a little trunk work and a lot of determination, he uncovered some fascinating stories about Kraze Daze.
