Renfro said that previous regular customers still stop by the new location, but even in the past week, they’ve gotten several more regulars who drop by multiple times a day.

Additionally, the new location allows the opportunity to expand with services like catering and keeping tabs open for regulars.

Angelica Perise, a full-time barista at The Golden Roast, also looks forward to the way the new location offers a clean slate and provides new opportunities.

“It’s kind of like getting a new apartment, you know?” Perise said. “It just feels fresh and it feels new and it’s exciting.”
