The story behind your iced latte at Pinky Promise Coffee Roasters is as good as the drink you find every Saturday at the Sturgeon Bay Farmers Market. The journey for owner Sean Grorich starts in Seattle, where he made it a quest to try as many of the city’s coffee shops as he could. The journey sparked the idea that he could open a coffee shop one day. After taking a coffee roasting course in Minneapolis, Grorich began looking for a home for his coffee shop before the pandemic slowed down the process. A discussion with his daughter over missed screen time helped Grorich create the name Pinky Promise for the venture, which has also become a pledge they keep for their customers.

Pinky Promise Coffee Roasters is located on Madison Avenue in Sturgeon Bay, seven days a week, and set up at the Sturgeon Bay Farmers Market on Saturdays. You can listen to this Faces of the Farmers Market Podcast episode by clicking this link.
