August 28, 2025 – A new kind of coffee experience is coming to Downtown Bellefontaine. Allways Brewin’, an energetic and offbeat coffee shop co-owned by mother-daughter duo Robin and Jamie Burton, will officially open its doors downtown on September 6, 2025.

The business began as a mobile coffee trailer, with Robin and Jamie serving both on the road and set up at their family homestead. The trailer quickly gained strong community support and built a loyal following, giving them the confidence to take the next step, opening a permanent brick and mortar location downtown.

With a name inspired by Jamie’s grandfather, who always spelled the word “allways” as a reminder to love in all ways, the shop blends passion, personality, and plenty of caffeine into every cup. “We’ve always had a love for coffee,” said Burton. “With over 16 years of combined experience, this shop is a dream come true and a tribute to the people who helped us get here.”

Allways Brewin’ sets itself apart from the average coffee shop. Self-described as a “chaotic brewing apothecary,” the space will offer a full espresso and tea bar alongside creative options like energy drinks, dirty sodas, smoothies, lemonade, and gluten-free baked goods. But it’s more than just drinks. The shop also features a curated collection of used books, vinyl records, and nostalgic finds that invite guests to slow down and stay a while. Its retro, book-loving, alternative vibe makes it a welcoming spot for anyone looking for something a little different.

“Our mission is to serve up delicious drinks with a side of individuality,” said Jamie. “Whether you’re here for the coffee, the community, or just to browse the bookshelves, we hope you leave feeling energized and welcomed.”

In addition to its daily offerings, Allways Brewin’ plans to host community events, live music, kids’ programming, and rotating artist features throughout the year.

“We’re excited to welcome Allways Brewin’ to the downtown,” said Keyne Strickland, Leasing and Property Manager at Small Nation. “Jamie and her mom bring a fresh perspective and a lot of heart to the space. This isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s a personality-filled destination that’s going to quickly become a favorite hangout.”

Allways Brewin’ will be located at 200 W. Columbus Ave. Follow their journey on Facebook or visit their website at allways-brewin.square.site.
