Locally owned and part of Frontenac Public Library.
Welcome.
Our shop will open this summer! We look forward to getting to know you. In the meantime, here's a bit about us:
Brad’s great-grandfather immigrated from Italy to work in the coal mines, settling on Cayuga Street less than a mile from our shop. His family has lived there ever since.
Our shop is a block from where Brad went to school, where his mom taught for many years, and where Andra and her dad both briefly taught. It's also just a few blocks from where Brad's dad, grandpa, and great-uncle owned a filling station.
We both graduated from Pitt State (Brad with a Biology degree, Andra with degrees in Communication), and since 2021, we have served the Pittsburg community as the owners of Root Coffeehouse at Fourth and Broadway in one of the most historic buildings in town: the Opera House Hotel.
Now, we're excited to serve Frontenac with its own coffeehouse, McKay Street Coffeehouse — named for the main thoroughfare — in the newest building in town: the Frontenac Public Library!
We, along with our older son, Dominic, who has worked at Root since 2019 and will be our lead barista, look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones when we open!
