Nobody knows… jk… waiting for bio.


Meet Cade!

Though she’s been at Café Liv since May 2024, she’s already made a big splash with her creative approach to coffee. Always experimenting with unique latte flavor combinations, Cade’s current favorite is the delightful s’mores latte, blending madeleine, toasted marshmallow, and rich mocha. When they’re not behind the counter, you can find her diving into epic DnD campaigns, discovering fresh music, or enjoying cozy cuddle sessions with her two feline companions, Stashi and Ares. Cade’s infectious enthusiasm makes every visit to the café an adventure!


Meet Amanda!

Amanda is a local artist here at Cafe Liv. She has stepped away from making lattes for now to be able to concentrate on other ways to grow our community here. Follow her journey as she brews up dreams and paints her path to success, one cup and canvas at a time!


Meet Scott: The Heart of the Coffee Shop

Scott has lived in Ypsi for 35 years. You can most often find him pouring coffee at Café Liv, painting houses around town, or enjoying a beer with a friend at Tap Room. Scott loves to sing, dance, read and write poetry, draw mandalas, go to the movies, and talk about the meaning of life.


Plus! We have two new fabulous baristas, Bill and Ruby! We will be sharing their bios soon too. Stay tuned for more.
