Garrett – Store Manager

Three words that describe me: Travel, Dinosaurs, and Food.  I am officially a world-wide traveler, I am currently 5 out of 7 for continents and I pretty much been to every state in the US besides Alaska.  As I travel I also love to always try the local dish.  Whether it is bugs, mystery meats, or even curdled pigs blood (yeah that wasn’t so great) I will always give it a try before I turn it down.  Traveling the world and tasting unique food none the less has brought me into the realm of coffee and tea which I have been traveling now for a few good years.  All in all, I look forward to the many more adventures the future has in store!

 

 

 

Christa – Shift Supervisor.

Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you. In an ideal world, we would be meeting over a delicious cup of green tea and conversing about all sorts of deep life questions such as, “Who was Jesus?” or, “Can anyone really taste black currants in the Dogwood Ethiopia?” But, alas, this is not an ideal world and I must tell you about myself on this small sheet of paper. Other things in my ideal world include wildflowers, climb-able trees, and lots of tall mountains. You’ll usually find me smiling, and it’s because I just can’t help it. I am incredibly blessed by the love of a Father in heaven, and I just wanna love Him back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dan – Shift Supervisor.

There are few things in life that get Dan excited. Coffee is one of them. Though this may be due to the caffeine or the highly-addictive quality in the bean, the fact remains: Dan gets excited about coffee. His favorite drink changes depending on the week, but lately it has been a pourover through the Chemex. Other things which Dan enjoys include:  Jesus, spending time with his wife, music, and referring about himself in third person for the entirety of this paragraph.

Born to Canadian-American parents, James Alexander George III (not of royalty) was raised in Wisconsin, dairy capital of the world. Like many others, Alex enjoys creating great works of art and chasing banditos through the American Southwest on his trusty stead. His favorite drink is a strong cup of coffee via Chemex pour-over. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hannah.

Hello Everyone! I’m Hannah and I simply love working here at J Arthur’s coffee shop! I am going to school right now with the goal of getting my teaching license from Bethlehem College and Seminary to one day be a literature teacher! I love history, theology, C. S. Lewis, movies, dancing, and hope to one day travel the world. And while I have many different passions in life, my strongest desires are to be a loving and supportive wife for my husband, Dale, a wonderful caring mother (one day), and most importantly, a humble and faithful servant of Jesus Christ. If you stop by the coffee shop I would love to chat about any place to which you have traveled, or a suggestion of a favorite movie! My favorite drink to serve is the vanilla velvet (because it is tasty and looks really cool), but my personal favorite is a vanilla white chocolate mocha!

 

 

 

 

 

Jessa.

I started working at J. Arthurs in March 2012. After I graduated high school I went to Tanzania, Africa, for 6 months with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). It was one of the craziest trips of my life.
I loved being there and want to go back someday. Some things I enjoy are soccer, photography, and being with people. I am thinking about pursuing a career in psychology but I’m still not sure what I want to do. I love making up different frappes here at J. Arthurs, and my favorite one is the white chocolate mint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 Kendra.

I am currently a nursing student at Northwestern College. In my limited free time, I enjoy reading novels and making memories with friends. I also love M&Ms, the color purple, and making (and drinking!) coffee. I absolutely love working at J. Arthur’s, and I have learned so much about coffee since beginning to work here! My favorite drinks include pourovers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noelle.

 

Well Hi! I just moved back to the TC after a few adventurous years in Colorado, where I spent my time working in coffee shops, instructing rock climbing (and climbing for fun, of course), writing music, trail running, and enjoying the mountains thoroughly. Those things sum up my passions, as well as traveling and experiencing the world, and now recently my soon-to-be husband, Cam!

 

 

 

 

Rebecca.

 

Rebecca attends Northwestern college in St. Paul and will be graduating in May 2013 with a degree in General Music. She plays violin and is is the concertmaster of the NWC Orchestra. She loves the summer sun, fruit smoothies, and almost all kinds of music.

 
 

 

 

 

Zack. 

 

Hailing from the corn-soaked heartland of Iowa, Zack is the epitome of what it means to be a Third-Wave Iowan Barista. In his free time, he enjoys simple things like Mexican Bear Wrangling and Underwater Parkour. Ask him about his favorite drink sometime. But be warned: its not for those with a lower caffeine threshold.
