The woman-owned shop is now serving coffee and other beverages at its truck on Nutty Brown Road. Drinks include drip coffee, lattes, matcha, other hot and cold drinks and more. The business is looking to expand to a brick and mortar shop off 16614 Hamilton Pool Road in June.
The new shop is now scooping up fresh, small-batch organic ice cream. The ice cream is gluten, soy and peanut free with organic milks and natural colors, according to a social media post.
The Shabby Wick
The gift shop from local Nikki Lourens closed its doors, due to "personal and family matters,” said Lourens. The Shabby Wick will continue to offer candles and refills online. Lourens first began the store as an online business in 2016 for her candles before opening the storefront in October of 2023, offering artisan gifts from a variety of small-business owners in addition to workshops such as candle making.
