Today we went for a hike at Crowders Mountain state park just a short 30 minute drive from uptown Charlotte. And we were greeted by a coffee kiosk at the head of the trail. What a brilliant idea. Scroll through the above slid show to see the hiking trail, the coffee kiosk, and business cards from the owners.
The company name is Dancing Ox Coffee Rosters and as the name implies the owners have a dance background. Their website shares that “After 20 years of competitive ballroom dancing, these Professional World and United States Champions; traded in the limelight for coffee beans”. Check out the Dancing Ox Coffee Roasters website and scroll down to the see a video of them dancing with a lake and mountain backdrop..
