COPPERAS COVE — A new coffee shop has opened in Copperas Cove.
Mojo Coffee, 301 E. Business 190, tentatively opened July 3 with a grand opening planned for next month. “We're aiming for Aug. 1,” said Maddux Marcom, social media manager and barista.
Despite the soft opening, the full menu is being offered. “You can order anything,” Maddux said.
Mojo Coffee, a small chain that started in Barnet in 2015, is known for its signature blend of dark roasted South American coffee with a chocolate flavor. Mojo Coffee offers Mojo's “Famous Frappes” and a variety of other coffee products, energy drinks, refreshment drinks and matcha (a type of Japanese tea).
One of the tools Mojo Coffee needs to take its drinks to the next level is a machine that can blend and freeze the product, which Maddux described as “the coolest thing we have.”
The only big difference from a soft opening is who will be staffing the location. Mojo Coffee has brought in experienced staff from various nearby locations to help train the staff who will be working at Copperas Cove. Maddux, a Liberty Hill native, is one of the baristas brought in to help train the new staff.
Opening hours are daily from 5:30am to 8pm on weekdays and 6am to 8pm on weekends.
Maddux said business has been “pretty good” and “busy” so far. The chain is focusing on carryout and drive-thru orders and does not have any dining areas inside, although it does have a few wooden picnic tables set up outside.
