Owner Jared Mack, originally from North Dakota, moved from DC to the Long Branch neighborhood in 2019 and quickly noticed the lack of a conveniently placed coffee shop on his side of Takoma Park. Within a year he brought the idea to two close friends, Marc Pickering, and Soko Chef Brad Feickert, who enthusiastically agreed to open their very own!

Chef Brad Feickert, known for his ownership and role at Soko Butcher of Takoma Park, is originally a classically trained chef who has numerous accolades. Previously working at places like Volt of Brian Voltagio and former restaurant Oz of Arlington.

Dylan Greer, general manager and head of beverages, is a local native of Takoma Park. Previously working at Frothy Monkey in Nashville, TN and then Takoma Beverage Company and Zinnia where he honed his enthusiasm and skills in all manner of beverages.
