Family, Coffee, and Community
Wildflower Cafe & Emporium, Owensville
Meet Lynn Roe-Buckman and Hailey Overton, the driving force behind Wildflower Cafe & Emporium. Lynn, the proud owner, and Hailey, her daughter and trusted partner, joined hands to establish a diner in the heart of Owensville. Their venture was about building a business where they could work together as a family.
From day one, Lynn and Hailey rolled up their sleeves and immersed themselves in the business. They took on various tasks, including installing windows, painting the exterior, and laying the flooring. Their hands-on approach and hard work were evident in every corner of the cafe.
What sets Wildflower Cafe & Emporium apart is its commitment to serving breakfast and lunch all day, making it a unique dining destination in the community. Their dedication to meeting the needs and preferences of their customers shines through, exemplified by one loyal patron who pops in after her night shift for a morning cheeseburger or fries.
But it’s not just about the food; it’s about the warmth and hospitality that Lynn and Hailey extend to their patrons. The Kids’ Section, complete with toys and games, keeps young ones entertained while families enjoy their meals. Moreover, the cafe features an artisan and consignment area, a testament to their innovative spirit.
Lynn and Hailey have big plans for the future, including offering pick-up and delivery options for quick and easy lunch meals like salads and soups. They also aim to expand their consignment area and grow their coffee and lemonade offerings.
With their first year of business under their belts, they’ve learned valuable lessons along the way. One of the key takeaways has been the importance of staying organized with paperwork, understanding costs, and having key partners, like an accountant, in place. Their dedication to continuous improvement ensures that the Wildflower Cafe & Emporium will not only thrive but also continue to blossom in the years to come.
Wildflower Cafe & Emporium is not just a place to enjoy a meal; it’s a testament to the power of family, community, and hard work. Lynn and Hailey have created a welcoming space where dreams come to life, one plate and cup of coffee at a time.
