Thanks A Latte was opened in 2013 on a whim, and we're so thankful it did. It is family-owned and came to fruition when deciding on their next journey and business venture.

They take pride in being family-oriented and providing a welcoming space for all customers to grab a quick coffee or stay and enjoy the environment while getting work done or relaxing. 

Something unique and special that Thanks A Latte offers is a prayer request. They have a little book by the register where you can write down your prayer request or an online form you can fill out. This simple act shows their love for their community and customers. 

Their drink menu comprises "the basics," "not coffee," and house lattes. If you visit in-store, you can browse their gist boutique while enjoying your coffee.
