Corner of Stroop and Far Hills

Epic Coffee Shoppe, located at the corner of Stroop & Far Hills, will officially open for business at 7am on Monday morning. Owners Brian Ernst and Laura Gorham of Kettering began construction on the shop last November, in the spot that formerly housed Sweet P’s Handcrafted Ice Pops. And what a transformation it is- Ernst’s flair for interior design is clearly evident in the elegant shop decorated in black and white with a pop of red.
