The Latest...
The 11 Mile coffee shop / NA bar / venue known as Berkley Coffee & Oak Park Dry closed on 2023-11-25. Thank you to everyone who participated in the space. It was a unique and worthwhile adventure. You can reminisce via Facebook photos.
There is still some MERCH on the web shop, including a RETROSPECT T-SHIRT, and pre-sale support for a LIVE ALBUM I'm compiling from hundreds of show recordings.
WE STILL ROAST! AND DO SHOWS SORT OF...
Mother Handsome
The 11 Mile space re-opened mid-2024 as Mother Handsome, under new ownership and style. It's still a coffee shop and roastery, plus pizza, bar, and private events. The bar is traditional alcohol now, but they do have a few NA menu items.
BC roasts for Mother Handsome, on the same roaster that's been installed there through the BC era. MH maintains great single origin staples, generally an Ethiopia light, Brazil medium, Indonesia dark, and Colombia medium decaf. Their beans are available to purchase in-store or online, including subscriptions.
BC Home Roast
I also roast at home, and WELCOME BEAN ORDERS!
This is a cottage food product, so I cannot sell online, by mail, or in grocery stores/restaurants. However, I'm happy to deliver/meet within 10mi radius of Berkley. Please EMAIL CONTACT@BERKLEYCOFFEE.COM to request anything from my CURRENT BEANS LIST.
I'm also aiming to have beans available through Crunch Co-op soon, with pickups in Berkley the 2nd Wednesday of every month.
KS-AVC
KS-AVC is a separate business entity of owner/roaster Kenny Showler for audiovisual system design & operation. If you enjoyed the events hosted at BCOPD, then keep in touch with KS-AVC via social media. I continue to do live sound and events organization around town.
KS-AVC operates a monthly show series at Reware Vintage on 12 Mile Rd. These shows are all ages, and I will be selling snacks, a COOLER OF N/A CANS & BOTTLES, and BEANS! Sort of the sound guy's merch table. The actual door donations go 100% to the performers.
