The Heartwarming Story Behind Their Name
The name “Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters” carries a deeply personal story. In 2013, when Cesar Ainzuain, Manuel’s father, passed away, he found comfort in a pillow shaped like an owl. In search of a more comfortable option at the hospital, Manuel and his siblings opted for a plush owl pillow from the children’s section of a nearby store. Although Cesar was initially unimpressed, he soon grew fond of it, even playfully imitating the owl’s face, with its prominent eyes and hairless, chemo-scarred head. After Cesar’s passing, the Ainzuain children began to see owls in various places, and these beautiful creatures continued to appear, connecting them to their late father in a special way. 🦉❤️
The Ongoing Owl Sightings
Almost four years have passed since Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters first opened its doors, and the owl sightings have not ceased. The Ainzuain family has been graced by the presence of snowy owls, great horned owls, eastern screech owls, flammulated owls, and barn owls. Each owl sighting serves as a powerful reminder of Cesar’s enduring legacy. 🦉✨
Where It All Began: The Brewster Cafe and Roastery
The Brewster cafe and roastery, built during the summer of 2015, is where the Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters dream came to life. The aim was to maintain the old barn-like charm of the Great Cape Herbs building, also known as “The Herb Shop.” At that time, the entire building was occupied by Stephan Brown, who offered espresso, brewed coffee, herbs, tinctures, plants, crystals, and incense. Many of these items are still available in his store behind them. Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters used 200-year-old reclaimed barn wood, scrap mahogany from local construction, and other locally sourced materials to create a space that feels like home, with the addition of specialty coffee. 🏡☕
Their Coffee and More
Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters offers a variety of brewing methods, including espresso, Aeropress, Chemex, pour-over, traditional brew, and cold brew. They also serve high-quality teas from MEM Teas, freshly squeezed citrus juices, and a range of delicious beverages. Most of their pastries, made primarily at their Sandwich location, come from their partners at Pain D’Avignon and White Lion Bakery. They source soups and salads locally from The Optimal Kitchen and offer a selection of light snacks, including yogurt, soups, energy bars, and bread. 🍵🥐🥗
