When stepping into most local coffee shops, one expects to see a fancy espresso machine and a list of specialty coffee offerings. But it’s less often to see Grandma’s special banana bread; delightfully moist and brimming with flavor. Founder and owner/manager of Coffeehouse Five, Brian Peters, explains that from the beginning they wanted to focus on serving the best coffee as well as what they call "Midwest comfort food."
“When we first started out in the kitchen, we wanted to focus on simple food we enjoy eating,” says Brian. “For us the easiest place to look was into our family recipes. Our biscuits are actually a recipe my daughter entered into the Johnson County 4-H fair when she was 10 years old and won Grand Champion.”
The family-owned and operated business team bakes all of their offerings from scratch in their kitchen at their Franklin location. From there they transport the goods to their other two locations, one in Greenwood and the other in Bargersville.
While they aim to provide the best coffee, food and ambiance possible, Brian shares that the true reason the local chain exists is to help the community. All the profit goes to provide both marriage and addictions counseling to the community, entirely free of charge.
Brian adds that soon customers will be able to enjoy their family recipes at special events, as they launch catering and make their spaces available to rent for special occasions.
