La Terza, a renowned local coffee roaster, has ventured into the coffee shop scene with the opening of Luminary by La Terza in College Hill. Taking over a space that once housed the College Hill Coffee Company for over four decades, the new owners, including Kirsten Zook, have transformed the location into a bright, family-friendly café that honors its historic charm while introducing modern touches. The shop not only serves La Terza's specialty roasted coffee and an array of food options but also places a strong emphasis on community involvement. With spaces for group gatherings and events like live music and poetry nights, Luminary aims to continue the legacy of warmth and inclusion that the previous establishment was known for. Despite the excitement, the owners are focusing on perfecting their brick-and-mortar operations before expanding their event offerings.
