Coffee, Kicks, and Community: Inside Blend's Unique Concept
Blend Coffee and Kicks is revolutionizing the coffee scene with its unique hybrid concept, seamlessly blending coffee culture, sneaker enthusiasm, and a strong sense of local community in a way that's completely new to the North American market. Spearheaded by co-founders Noah Garoutte and Jason Hicks, this innovative establishment offers an exceptional experience. Imagine indulging in the rich, bold flavors of South American coffee, perfectly complemented by surprising Asian-inspired notes, alongside a delectable array of expertly crafted pastries. But that's not all—Blend also features a meticulously curated shoe collection, showcasing the tastes of local influencers and athletes. What makes it even more special is that a portion of every shoe sale goes directly to supporting mental health initiatives and organizations aiding teen homelessness right here in the Pacific Northwest.
