THE DIGEST
Introduction
Just In Time to Start Your Week
Welcome to the first edition to the Justin Journal. Our family has lived in Justin for a few years and love the small town feel of our sweet little town. Being a small town we have also discovered that sometimes it’s a challenge to find out what’s going on and we often miss out on events and interesting news. Our goal is to help you stay informed about things going on in and around Justin.
Next week’s edition will feature volunteer opportunities in Justin and nearby areas as well as your usual weekly updates. Feel free to send us a information about opportunities your organization may be planning so we can include them. Email us at [email protected]
LOCAL BUSINESS
A New Brew in Town
There’s a new brew in town. The welcoming atmosphere at Justin Coffee & Trading Co is a warm cozy retreat where farmhouse chic meets modern comfort. Complete with indoor seating designed for a group catch up as well as intimate seating for a couple of friends to share a cup of coffee. The coffee shop also features a fun outdoor space with lawn games which patrons will be able to enjoy when Texas is out of it’s melting season (aka summer). The menu features several coffee choices, baked goods, as well as warm breakfast choices with prices you would expect from a small coffee shop. While you’re there don’t forget to check out the cute boutique style gift shop where you can find an assortment of items including Justin themed shirts, hats, and cups. The Justin Coffee & Trading is not just a place to grab a coffee; it’s a community hub where locals can gather, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Stop by and support this new business where every visit feels like coming home. Nothing in this section is sponsored. Just fun info we wanted to share. |
