…is a cafe that is owned and run by two families, the Hiltons and the Ingrams. Before even the thought of having a coffee shop together was real, we were close friends who had in common a real sense of place here in this town and a desire to see it grow and to have not just what it needed, but real destinations of beauty and quality. We each had a love for good design, quality coffee, nourishing and flavorful food, and an entrepreneurial spirit.
We see Comma as our way of using our talents to provide Shawnee with everything we felt our home deserved, something to be enjoyed. Our vision is for this to be a space to feel warm and welcome to anyone who comes inside and for each person to be able to feel nourished, not only from food but the experience as a whole.
We are young families who are determined to teach our children the value of community and life rhythms of rest, work, and play. We want them to see what can come from working this hard, not for its own sake, but for the sake of those we’re working for. Comma is the representation of all of this – it's a break in the day to connect with friends or to enjoy solitude amongst strangers. It’s an opportunity to delight in food and drink. It’s a peaceful space to hunker down and work. It’s a destination for those who need a pause.
We’re grateful to be a part of your coffee rhythm today, whether you’re here for rest, work, or play and we hope that you can pause for a moment. It’s the pauses that provide us the opportunity to rest and reflect, celebrate what’s come before, and to prepare for what’s next.
