Buck Creek community comes together to support local coffeehouse

How Buck Creek Coffee and Smoothies got its groove back

Next month, Buck Creek Coffee and Smoothies will celebrate 6 years of serving great coffee and treats to the Pelham community.

On Feb 28, the owners announced they would be closing the coffee shop in March due to other business ventures needing more attention, specifically Bama Burgers. Shortly after this announcement, the Pelham community offered words of support and pleaded for the owners to keep the business open.

Owners Karen and Torre DeVito decided to hire a manager who would turn the business upside down. Bham Now had the opportunity to speak to the team and reflect on the amazing support they’ve received.

“We appreciate the overwhelming support of the community and our new manager that has afforded us an opportunity to stay open and continue to serve delicious, fresh coffee.”
