We’re so excited for our friends at as they open a second location! We first met the Kopets when they reached out; They were new to town and had a coffee cart. We had a beautiful event at with , and their story and commitment to our community continued to flourish from there. Meet owners and creative masterminds, Viorika and Nik. 👇
“We're the Kopets family. Nik was born in Belarus, and Viorika was born in Ukraine and we both moved to America when we were young and grew up in Washington state. That's where we met, started our family, and then eventually (finally) moved to Kentucky in 2017!
We've had a passion for coffee for a long time now and daydreamed for years about opening up our own place. After moving to Lexington and experiencing the bursting coffee culture, we knew we were in the right place at the right time.
As with anything worthwhile, we had to overcome a few bumps along the road but finally came upon our current location at the Pepper Distillery District. In December 2019 we set to work getting things prepped – pressure washing, mopping, scraping, painting, drilling, hammering, plumbing, electrical, furniture, equipment, and so on. Then, as we're all aware, covid-19 hit in March 2020, and our construction progress and opening date had to be delayed.
Thankfully, in September 2020 we were able to open our doors! “
