🌟 Exciting News 🌟
We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new coffee shop, June Elouise, right here in Kingsley! After almost 25 wonderful years of marriage and raising our two little boys, Maverik, who is almost five (and is very proud of it!), and Ranger, who will turn two in May, as well as our daughter who lives in Mapleton with her amazing family, we are excited to start this new chapter.
We previously owned The Washboard Café in Missouri, which combined a laundromat with a coffee shop and bakery. We were proud to see it recognized as one of the top-seven laundromats in the United States. Now, we've moved to Iowa to be closer to family and to give our boys the wonderful experience of growing up on a farm. We are excited to bring our passion for coffee and baked goods to Kingsley.
At June Elouise, you can expect a cup of amazing coffee, delicious donuts, and specialty baked goods, all served in a warm, welcoming environment. We’re also excited about our renovations. Which will include a fenced-in play area for kids in the back coming this spring.
We look forward to becoming part of this vibrant community and can't wait to meet each and every one of you. Thank you for your support, and stay tuned for updates as we prepare to open our doors!
❤️ Your friends, Michael and Josie
