It all started when…
Debbie left the bank for a tiny coffee shop on Trotwood Avenue.
Columbia local Debbie Cooper made a career switch and left her banking job to manage a tiny coffee shop on Trotwood Avenue. She immediately began transforming the store with new ideas and community outreach, and within six months she went from manager to owner. In January 2002 Buckhead Coffeehouse was unveiled, and the public responded enthusiastically.
They've evolved a lot over the years, and the fan base (family) has kept growing. Loyal regulars and friendly baristas make a warm, hospitable room that tries to make everyone feel welcome.
