Dream Cloud Coffee Roasters: Whimsical Wonders, Magical Moments, and Delectable Delights

I had never heard of a cloud forest before speaking with Emily Comnick, who owns the new coffee shop in Two Harbors along with her husband, Charlie. Emily told me that Charlie used to be in the coffee busi­ness and has traveled to coffee country. Af­ter looking at photos online, it’s easy to see how these forests got their name. The cloud forests are at a high el­evation and have a low cloud cover at a cano­py level, giving a visi­tor the magical feeling of being immersed in the clouds.

So, it makes sense that Emily and Charlie would name their cof­fee shop Dream Cloud Coffee Roasters.

“We were trying to think of something that would kind of repre­sent a feeling of whim­sy and dreaming of sorts. To kind of give that vibe of a magical place and experience,” said Emily.

The business opened on May 3rd of this year in the old Mocha Moose building at 543 Scenic Drive in Two Harbors. The location itself is a dream come true for the couple.

“We were very very very lucky to have the space. We know that and we’re just really happy. It’s very much so a dream for us. We’ve always actually wanted to live on the North Shore, specifi­cally the Scenic Drive, but never thought it was a reality and here we are!” Emily said.

The shop offers and assortment of baked goods, such as carda­mom buns, cinnamon rolls, cookies, straw­berry cakes, bagels, fo­caccia and other types of bread, lemon bars, chocolate cakes, do­nuts, and more. Begin­ning in August the shop will have a monthly menu so everyone will have a good idea of what is being featured during each month.

The business, which also has art, photog­raphy, and ceramics for sale, has been well received. Both of the owners are artists and a friend, Kristen Miller, helped to make most of the mugs at the shop.

“We’ve definitely had a good response to it. Everybody has enjoyed the coffee, the drinks, and the at­mosphere. I think a lot of people, when they walked in, were real­ly excited and blown away by what it looks like inside,” said Em­ily. “It’s fun to step into a little cottage-like building and get an im­mersive experience.”

The couple have been working on the garden since they moved into the building, and Emi­ly reported it is in full bloom right now and a beautiful sight to see. The effort adds to the magic of the experi­ence that Emily and Charlie are hoping to provide to their cus­tomers.

“We want you to remember that cap­puccino or remember that sweet treat you had and remember the feeling of the garden, or inside the shop, or the exchange you had with us,” Emily said. “I think one thing we both really love, me and Charlie, is we love being of service to people. We want to provide people with a really great service and something they can remember in a magical moment. It’s something they can share in because that’s something we love to get out of places we go and visit.”

Starting on July 31st there will be more op­portunities to expe­rience the magic that Dream Cloud Coffee Roasters offers. The shop will have expand­ed hours of Wednesday through Sunday from 9AM-3PM.

“We’re kind of find­ing our groove and we’re realizing that we want to do more and share more of the space. The only way to do that is to be open a little more and I think being open earlier is a better thing for every­one.”

Emily encourag­es everyone to visit Dream Cloud Cof­fee Roasters to check out the coffee, drinks, goodies, art, photog­raphy, ceramics, and maybe even more so to take time to enjoy a moment of magic.

“In a really fast paced society now, every­thing is go go go, and nobody really takes the time to sit and enjoy something as simple as a cup of coffee and a cookie, but it’s some­thing like one of those small moments in your day that can really change things,” she said. “That’s what we want to do, we want to create beautiful things and surround ourselves with that and surround the people who enter our space with that and to leave them feeling happy and at peace and to remember what life is about, it’s simple little moments and en­joying them with oth­ers or yourself.”

It’s a good reminder to take the time and smell the coffee. I plan to do so soon at Dream Cloud Coffee Roast­ers!
