The re-use of a former pottery studio into a fun community focused café / coffee house.

Hotpot Smoothie Shop combines the health and excitement of Asian influenced cuisine with a casual corner coffee shop.  Focusing on natural and responsibly sourced ingredients Hotpot Smoothie shop will offer breakfast and luncheon foods prepared to order.  From delicious rice and noodle dishes and freshly made sandwiches; the emphasis is on supplying a unique, alternative to everyday dining.  In addition, a full line of artisan organic tea and coffee drinks, and a health conscious smoothie bar will add further value to the establishment.

Philosophy of concept:

In Asian cuisine a “Hot pot” is a communal dish.  Food is prepared and served together as a family.  This sense of community is central to the core values brought by the owners.  Providing environmentally responsible food in a friendly manner will help promote health and good stewardship throughout the community.  An emphasis on sourcing sustainable, organic, and local foods and products will create a unique and viable operation that serves the public responsibly. In addition the owner’s envision the Hotpot Smoothie Shop as being a springboard of community involvement.

Already involved in the local schools and Boy Scouts of America the owners believe the added benefit of a foodservice outlet will allow for the continued support of these, and other, charitable endeavors.
