When Lori Green began as a part-time barista at Mazama Coffee Co. about 10 years ago, she didn’t expect to be its newest owner by 2022.
“It’s more than coffee,” Green said. “I love the people and getting to know the community.”
In September, Green bought the shop from the original owners, Vicky and Bruce Lewis, who opened Mazama in November 2012 and named it after a town in Washington where the two used to vacation.
“I started working here two months after it opened, and there was nothing on the street,” Green said. “It’s been really fun watching the street come to life as other businesses started moving in.”
