LEONARDTOWN, Md. – The Social Coffeehouse, a staple of Leonardtown, has now taken over the historic Duke Building. Many residents and public figures made their way to the coffee shop this morning to celebrate the beginning of a new era.
The new location offers a much bigger space for the coffee shop including outdoor seating, room for their own roasting operation, and a separate area for the bar.
Special guests such as St. Mary’s County Commissioners Eric Colvin, Scott Ostrow, Mike Hewitt, St. Mary’s County State’s Attorney Jaymi Sterling, and members of the Leonardtown Council, including Mayor Dan Burris were present.
“We have built this incredible thing. The town has been absolutely amazing. We’ve kind of morphed and created something really unique, and a draw and an anchor for this town, and it’s just been an absolutely amazing ride,” said Sean Coogan, owner of The Social.
“I didn’t even like coffee when I first started this business. I just love the community, I love working with people, I love building and growing things and this has been absolutely an amazing ride and I cannot wait to get into this building and see what we do on the corner of this square.”
The Coffeehouse has already scheduled multiple music acts for their new location throughout the month. Will B & Cait will be performing this Saturday at 7 p.m. Titus & Simpson will be performing on April 13th at 7 p.m. and on April 27th, Doc Lohn will be performing at 7 p.m.
A Karaoke Night is also scheduled for Friday, April 12 at 7 p.m. The evening will be hosted by DJ TJ with Invincible Entertainment.
