Minneapolis Moment: Misfit Coffee

If you know anything about me, you know I love coffee. My first stop in a new city is always a coffee shop, on the hunt for the best cup. However, there are a zillion great places to get decent coffee right here in my own city, and I'm happy to share with you all the newest one on the block...literally. Misfit Coffee is a mobile coffee trailer, freshly opened this summer, and when it comes to a good cup of coffee, these boys don't mess around.

I've had the pleasure of getting to know these guys a little more over the past few months, and their success is nothing short of inspiring. I was immediately drawn to their story because I felt a lot of similarities between us. I decided pretty early on that I didn't want to go to college, and just started doing. I started my blog as a way to gain experience in a field I loved—my way instead of the normal way, and it's the same for these guys and their coffee. They found a dream and just went for it. Now, here they are, roommates with two dogs (a Great Dane and a Dachshund) and an adorable cat, serving up coffee on the streets of Minneapolis day in and day out.

And then I made them pose for outfit pictures.

Marcus:

So personable and professional manning the counter that you would never guess he isn't even twenty yet. Order their fall 'This Is Not A Pumpkin Spice Latte' from him...it's his fave to make.

Mitchell:

Musician, traveler, and Marcus' older brother. Somehow it seems to fit that his favorite drink to make is a red eye...appropriately intense.

Alex:

Skateboarder extraordinaire. Will pour you a mean mocha with a bright smile, most likely while wearing flannel. 

This post is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these phenomenal guys, but I'm happy to share that you all can meet them and myself tomorrow night, Thursday November 19, and see their extraordinary in real life. I'm hosting Madewell's holiday collection release at the Mall of America location from 6-8 PM with a coffee bar by Misfit, and we would all love to see you there!

Watch their new promo video below and read all about the Misfit story, their coffee and more on the Misfit Coffee website.

Here's to the crazy ones.
