Our Story

Started with one espresso machine

Maple & Thistle opened in 2016 with a single La Marzocco and a lot of stubbornness about what coffee should taste like. Nine years later, not much has changed about that.

How It Started

A corner shop, built by hand

Owners Dana and Priya renovated the space themselves — salvaged the wood tables, built the counter, and pulled shots for friends before they ever opened the doors. That do-it-together spirit is still baked into everything, from the seasonal menu to the community bulletin board by the window.

Today the team is six people deep, but the goal hasn't moved: pour a coffee good enough that you'd drive across town for it.
