Opening
Yours & Mine Coffee is Now Open in Westport
Yours & Mine Coffee
Yours & Mine Coffee, a new family-owned coffee shop, is now open in Westport inside the former Fidel’s Cigar Shop space.
Fuego Fix: The shop at 4112 Pennsylvania Ave. brews espresso drinks with Oddly Correct beans and serves pastries from Heirloom and Aurora Café & Bakery. The drink menu features Latin-inspired creations, seasonal offerings, matcha, and tea.
Yours Truly: Owners Mireya and David Miller first planned a coffee cart, then found the space in August and went brick-and-mortar instead. Mireya grew up in KC, by way of Zacatecas, Mexico. The cozy, dark-red interior kept the cigar shop’s original wooden built-ins.
Yours & Mine Coffee is open Mon – Thu 5:30 am–5 pm, Fri–Sat 8 am–8pm, and Sun 8am-3pm.
