George Co ee + Provisions is locally owned To enter George Co ee + Provisions, which is nestled in the heart of Old Town Coppell, guests will swing open a white picket gate and walk across a wide porch dotted with rocking chairs. This serves as an introduction to a business steeped in a culture of hospitality.
“Co ee t into that. [The Hembergers] say, ‘We’re a people business that fronts as a co ee shop.’” Hardwick said the business name was chosen after the city’s namesake, George Coppell, and because “being servant-hearted is the meaning behind the name George.” On the co ee side, they o er a wide range of craft co ee with lattes and cappuccinos being top sellers. “We consider ourselves more Italian style,” Hardwick said. “Our macchiatos … are traditional Italian style, which is a double shot of espresso, with an ounce of steamed milk on top because we stick to more craft drinks.”

Coppell residents Christian and Laura Hem- berger opened the business six years ago after constructing the building from the ground up, including living quarters on the second oor. “Christian and Laura love the city of Coppell and wanted to open a space in the community that would be a safe place where people could come and meet with an old friend, study, have commu- nity,” General Manager Jonathan Hardwick said.
