We're getting quite enamored with this ☕️ & 🌴 life down here in Charleston.

The first two years of expanding Summit in the Lowcountry hasn't been easy! But brick by brick we are learning hard lessons, getting better each day. Sunshine and palm trees and sand also help ☀️

To those of you who have supported us this whole time, thank you! To those of you that we have not met yet, we look forward to welcoming you in. And to those of you who have experienced our bumps and trials and tribulations, we look forward to an opportunity where we can do better the next time.

🎺 Summit is BACK in Asheville's RAD neighborhood this morning, some 19 months after Hurricane Helene.

JT, Paige, and the Summit RAD crew have been waiting for so so long to welcome our longtime customers back into a cafe space. Please celebrate them, and go say hello and enjoy coffee and an awesome new space just down the street from the old RAD cafe.

We are beyond excited to finally share what we're bringing to the Summit Farms development. As the lead partner for the Village at Summit Farms, not only are we building our brand new company roastery and HQ, but we also are starting a farm and launching a few new brands! AND breaking ground this spring.

👩🏼‍🌾 The heart of this project will be the 5-10 acre Garden at Summit Farms. We'll have a full-time staff cultivating the freshest and localist produce, flowers, herbs, all prepared and consumed and sold on site.

🥐 Adjacent to the farm, in the Village, will live Silly Goose Bakeshop. Our retail cafe ☕ on site, the chef-driven Silly Goose will be the newest canvas for our culinary team, led by Dora Callahan. Imagine an ever-evolving menu of bakery wonder, a custom Summit coffee menu, and an on-site outdoors play area.

🫜 Nearby is Greenhouse Market, the everyday farm stand store for the Garden. It also will boast a deli, with made to order sandwiches, salads, and more.

More? Yes, more to come ... but not today. Follow along, stay tuned for news drops, and watch as we build this village alongside the Summit Farms development.

Behind the magic of every coffee, croissant, and cone we serve, there's a small army of folks who keep it ALL together.

Our production and office teams are led by some really, really special people and without them, we would have stale coffee ... and the scones would suck ... and the emails would go unanswered ... and we wouldn't have ice cream?

A shoutout today to these 4 leaders who allow the Summit world to shine bright ☀️ Thanks, Parker and Jessie and Rami and Abigail!

Time for this gem to gets its 📸 closeup.

Inspired by GS cookie season, y'all have been tagging this Carmel-Coconut-Chocolate masterpiece over and over and over again.

We love being inspired by nostalgia and childhood when we create, and this drink reminds us of secretly crushing 7 Samoas in the pantry while nobody sees you. But we see you, because we are just like you. No need to hide your cravings any longer.

Well, we didn't get the James Beard nomination this week that we have been hoping for ... BUT, we did learn that Summit has been selected as the feature for Bravo's newest reality TV drama, "America's Next Top Barista."

I've been pursuing TV stardom for decades now, so while Survivor, American Idol, and Top chef didn't work out, I am THRILLED that Summit gets to shine.

Thursdays, 9pm ET, staring this June.

Every once in a blue moon, we are fortunate to come across a building that at first glance makes us say: "that needs to be a Summit." How awesome is this historic house --> cafe going to be???

Ever wonder WHO masterminds these seasonal drinks?

The fun and endless cycle of seasonal menu ideation continues. While the Spring Menu 🌷just dropped last week, Luz and Dora are finalizing recipes for the Summer Menu 🏖️

Also, is anyone with me (Brian) that lemonades deserve a permanent place on our menus! My goodness the 🍓 lemonade is so good right now.

Can we talk for a second about banana 🍌? Y'all are going absolutely wild for any and all things banana lately. Still, your (super healthy) obsession with the Banana Cream Pie Latte from the Spring menu is next level. So we are going to give a few more away.

In the first week, we've sold literally thousands of these things. Our bakery is making syrups as quickly as we can, the cafes are constantly whipping up fresh batches of cold foam. And not to disparage the other seasonal menu hits, 'cause they're all great and popular, but the BCP 💛 is willlllld.

Who's team banana? Comment with 🍌 (now my top emoji) and tag a friend who you think would love a BCP. We'll hand some coups out.

oh hey, spring menu 🌷🌷🌷 welcome to our fairy garden where all your spring dreams come true!! Brought back some fan favorites and of course some never before seen recipes and drinks!! Don’t sleep on this menu … unless the pillow is a bed of moss

🍌 banana cream pie // iced banana latte topped with banana cold foam and vanilla wafers

🍓🍋 strawberry lemonade // new and improved strawberry lemonade recipe with freeze dried strawberries

🥥 🍫 girl scout // coconut mocha latte topped with vanilla cold foam, mocha + caramel drizzle and toasted coconut

🍬 strawberries & creme // strawberry latte topped with a swirl of strawberry and vanilla cold foam - pretty much like your favorite Werther’s candy

good story (bad photo)

Six years ago this very day, our Outpost cafe was Patient Zero for Covid x Summit Coffee. We were still working as "normal," in our office and cafes, until Davidson College decided to shut campus down and send the students home.

Amid the hysteria, where did hundreds of students go? To our Outpost cafe. People cried, they hugged -- seniors unsure if they were ever going to be students again. They also came to support Summit, and we sold any and everything that we could: pitchers of beer, 5lb bags of coffee, cases (literally) of avocados. Everyone was in a panic.

What it meant to us then, though, and how it resonates with us still to this day, is that when the world went to s**t and we all felt alone, a small army of people came to gather at Summit. The Outpost offered a last moment of normalcy for most of us, with hugs and without masks. I remember feeling ALL the things at that moment -- stressed, sad, anxious, filled with adrenaline.

Six years later, I choose to look at this (crappy) picture fondly, of people not knowing what to do except gathering with other people who matter, in a place that matters.

2️⃣ YEARS ago, this beautiful Summit cafe down in Emory Village (GA) walked into our lives. And hundreds of thousands of ☕️ and 🥐 later, we are still using just as much fun.

Maybe even more fun? Happy beautiful birthday celebration to this beautiful cafe. If you haven't stopped in to visit Lewis, Drew, and the crew yet -- go!
