When Amy and Robbie Brogden searched for a coffee shop in Mount Olive during the pandemic, a place that was fun, cozy, and quiet, they were out of luck but decided to remedy that situation. It wasn’t long before they opened Southern Ground Coffee Shop, offering a wide range of both organic, fair trade and non-organic coffees in several roast options. Their proprietary-flavored coffee, Southern Sunrise, contains chocolate, caramel and vanilla flavors. They also serve lattes, hot cocoa, smoothies and other drinks along with pastries and, on occasion, savory options like biscuits, sandwiches, chicken salad and pasta salad. “We hope people feel at home when they walk in the door,” says Amy. “We have boards where people sign their names and where they are from. We have had visitors from over 16 countries and 20 states. It’s incredible that so many people like that have found our little shop.”
