TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – There is a new local coffee shop in the capital city.
Deja Brew’d opened at 1122 SW 10th Ave., near 10th Avenue and Buchanan Street on Halloween night. Owner Amanda Malloy says what sets them apart from the other coffee shops is their homemade sauces and willingness to try new things.
“I love making stuff homemade, so a lot of our sauces, like our brown sugar in our creme brulee, [are] homemade sauces, and we’re not afraid to try anything and try new things,” Malloy said. “We have so many flavors to try from. We have a great roaster that does our beans. What makes our coffee really good. We have a big water system that filters our water four times.”
The shop is near Topeka High School, Stormont Vail, and the University of Kansas Health System St. Francis hospitals. So, Malloy believes the shop is in a great spot.
“We’re like, let’s just give it a shot. Hopefully, this is the location to be at, and yesterday proved it. We had a line out the door,” Malloy said.
Malloy said she’s wanted to open a coffee shop for many years, and is thrilled it’s become reality after years of saving.
This is just something that I’m really passionate about. I’ve always wanted to open a coffee shop. So, for the last five years, I was saving and getting stuff ready,” Malloy said. “I’m super stoked. Like, I was like, oh, this is such a, like, memorable moment. Me and my husband actually built everything you see here. The bar to the kitchen. We painted, we remodeled everything ourselves, and it’s just a huge dream come true.”
The hours are:
- Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Closed on Sunday
