Hello everyone,
The time has come for me to share some exciting news about the future of Nightingale Coffee!
Over the last few months I have been in the process of some substantial change. Some of you may have noticed my silence on social mediums and absence from the public spaces where I typically serve out of my espresso cart systems.
The reasons for this are multifaceted, but my announcement in its simplest form is that I’ve decided to take an opportunity to move to Des Moines, Iowa this June.
Much of what I’ve been up to has been negotiating a deal with a good friend in the local coffee community to take what I’ve built over the past three years and run with it. By this coming week, the espresso carts that I built and that you have seen me operate around town will be in the hands of Corey Larkin - owner and operator of High Ground Cafe and Espresso Bar.
I chose Corey specifically and approached him about this idea, because I trust that he has the capacities and attention to detail to adequately serve all of the great people who have shown me so much support at Nightingale Coffee over the past three years in Siouxland.
I started Nightingale in 2019 with the desire to pursue and create the best in Coffee, Community and Culture. I believe that I have in many ways achieved my goals and heighten the coffee culture in Siouxland. I’m proud to have met and served such a diverse group of people who thought that what I was up to was worth supporting.
As for the future, I have some plans set in my mind that may take time to actualize, but you’ve not seen the last of Nightingale. So, keep posted and I will reveal information as it seems appropriate- thank you Siouxland! You’ve all been a joy to serve and I am incredibly grateful to have gotten that opportunity.
With sincerity and thanks,
Alexander Paulsen
