Rosebud Coffee House<\/a> opened its doors in the Thomas Park\/Avondale neighborhood in early December 2020. Owner Tiara Hicks wanted to covert an old bank branch building to create a safe and welcoming environment for the community to hang out and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was all about breaking down barriers,\u201d Hicks said. \u201cI wanted to be a part of the comfort and the feel. I wanted you to come in and not be intimidated.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two meeting spaces in the coffee house. One is inside the old bank vault of the caf\u00e9; you can sign up to use either. Free WIFI also is available to customers. Rosebud was named after Hicks\u2019 grandfather and the rose theme followed after that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRosebud was my grandfather’s nickname and my grandpa passed away six or seven years a go, and he was the one who really instilled hospitality and an open door, always inviting someone in,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosebud, 1805 S. Hoyt Ave., Muncie, is open 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The menu includes a unique blend of coffee and organic teas, pastries, cookies, and breakfast treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
