Day in the Life


I realized I never showed you what springtime at SONDER Coffee was like this year! Well before the summer wraps up and we head into fall and life goes on, I might as well do it now. Plus it was lovely looking back at these mouth-watering drinks during this delicate and awakening time of the year… The Springtime Crown Our romantic and whimsical crown was handmade by Deb from Home-Spice Designs!

When we were designing SONDER, we loved the idea of having it so homey that we’d sell trinkets and items that fit our brand on our shelves. Our space is on the small side that we haven’t made it happen yet, so we love having pop-up shops as an extension of this idea. We also get to meet and feature local creatives with their own inspiring stories, and foster a fun space where you can buy lovely handcrafted things. Enjoy an...
