Our Story

Our husband and wife executive chef team pull inspiration from around the world combining traditional southern and rural european recipes with the latest in avant-garde techniques to create a truly unique cafe experience.

Born and raised in south Georgia, Joy was heavily influenced by the traditional southern cooking of her great-grandmother. Later, Joy took her passion for time-honored hand-made meals with her to rural Italy. With these lessons in mind, Joy continually strives to create new and innovative recipes that bring technique, nutrition and flavour together.
