About Sunshine Coffee Co.
Sunshine Coffee Co.
Sunshine Coffee Co., located at 116 E Kelly Street in Sylvester, Georgia, is a family-owned and operated coffee shop that focuses on community, warmth, and connection. More than just a place to enjoy a cup of coffee, it serves as an extension of home, where customers are welcomed with genuine hospitality and a love for great coffee. The shop’s mission is to create a space where people can gather, share experiences, and find comfort in both the coffee and the company.
Founded by Blakelee, who is deeply passionate about family, travel, and personal growth, Sunshine Coffee Co. reflects her journey of self-discovery and her desire to return to her roots. After years of exploring, Blakelee returned to the slow life of Georgia with a renewed sense of purpose, using the coffee shop as a way to give back to the community that raised her.
The team at Sunshine Coffee Co. is just as dedicated to the mission of creating meaningful connections. Ember, with her empathetic and lighthearted nature, strives to bring joy to every customer interaction, ensuring that everyone feels seen and appreciated. Saylor, another key member of the team, recently returned to Georgia with her family after a period of travel and exploration. She is excited to build relationships and be part of the community’s daily life.
The coffee shop is named in loving memory of Malissa Handfield, also known as "Sunshine," whose legacy of kindness and community inspires the business. Sunshine Coffee Co. aims to keep Malissa's spirit alive by being a place where compassion, warmth, and togetherness are celebrated in every cup served.
