It's Joe Time

Belux Coffee

Lucy Liu and Ben Li began their coffee business from a shared love of high-end, delicious coffee. Belux Coffee Roasters first was an online retail store that quickly grew in popularity and the Liu family decided to open its first storefront in spring 2018 to make its in-house roasted coffee beans more accessible to the public. Their passion for coffee is now a full-fledged career and their entire day is dedicated to the growing success of their business, and the quality products they sell. The company logo, a bunny, is dedicated to their rescue bunny named Bela which also served as inspiration for the company name. 

Their  storefront located in Alpharetta on the edge of Johns Creek is open Wednesday through Saturday, and guests can come in and purchase coffee accessories like kettles and pour-over carafes, along with their in-house roasted coffee beans for home and office consumption. Looking for a last-minute gift for your Valentine? Belux has various gift sets and package ideas they can help you put together for the coffee savant in your life. 

So what does an average day look like for the couple obsessed with coffee?
