"Who packs and ships all the coffee?" "Who makes the cold brew coffee?" "Who wrote the note that came in my order?" "Who delivers all the pastries?"

Kenny does. And he is an absolute powerhouse. He is also a Liverpool FC fanatic, was once a participant on the Jay Leno show, and he says 'Taylor Ham not Pork Roll' (it's a Jersey thing).

Meet Heidi!

She works at our downtown location as shift lead and has been with Second State for a little over a year, helping keep things running smoothly and creating a welcoming space for everyone who comes in. She loves connecting with people and being part of such a great team. You’ll usually find her sipping on her go-to iced brown sugar oat latte with cinnamon! Outside of work, Heidi loves going to the beach, spending time with her animals, and hanging out with her friends!
