BROOKVILLE — A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place Saturday morning to commemorate the grand opening of Grounded Brewings on Main Street in downtown Brookville. This new cafe brings an exciting twist to the local coffee scene.
Owner Jasonna Hockinson initially launched Grounded Brewings as a mobile coffee trailer in June 2023, delighting customers with a variety of creative beverages.
Inside the new cafe, guests can savor an extensive array of espresso drinks, lattes, cold brews, energy drinks, infusions, and unique specialty creations. The espresso selection features the Eliza Furnace blend sourced from Pittsburgh’s De Fer Coffee, while additional coffee offerings are provided by Aegis Coffee Roasters in DuBois.
Hockinson emphasizes that Grounded Brewings is more than just a coffee shop.
She expressed, “I hear people say all the time, ‘I wish we had something different around here.’ Well, here it is. I want to bring something comforting, fun, and a little alternative to the area. Watching someone take that first sip and seeing their whole mood brighten is one of my favorite parts of this. I’ve made so many friends traveling with the trailer and meeting people along the way. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.”
Grounded Brewings also features a Prop Swap Wall, where visitors can exchange cuttings from their own houseplant collections, fostering a living collection of greenery that is shared, grown, and continually refreshed by the community.
In addition to the cafe on Main Street, Hockinson’s trailer will continue to make appearances at events throughout the warmer months.
Located at 130 Main St., Grounded Brewing is open from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
