How we got here
Every town deserves a good coffee shop.
When Amy Birdsong first walked into this building on Main Street, she was helping her husband look for office space. But the front room had other plans. Big windows, morning light, room for a couch. It was already a coffee shop; it just didn't know it yet.
Elkton had good people, mountain views and the Appalachian Trail on its doorstep. What it didn't have was a place to gather during the day: a third place between home and work, where neighbors catch up, hikers warm up and nobody's in a hurry. "A coffee shop is beyond just a latte," Amy says. "It's a space that the community needs."
So in October 2024, Good Day Café opened its doors, with beans from Broad Porch, scones from Sophie's and a team that knows your name and your regular order. Amy felt called to make it happen. It's still growing, one good day at a time.
Be still. (Psalm 46:10)
