Thanks to Jae for sending the update that Ministry had a private event and “opens next week.” Ed. Note: Not sure if that means later this week or next week. At any rate it’s soon! Their website lists staff positions open and says:
“At The Ministry, we love all things coffee, food, and wine.
It is the heart and soul of what we do. Coffee is our energy, food is our motivator, and wine is our joy. We believe in basking in the moments that are meant to be unrushed. We seek to provide an inviting space that encourages conversations, engagement, and community.
Founded by sister team Elisa and Lourdes (Lulu) Bennaton, The Ministry derives its inspiration from their roots in Honduras and Guatemala and international experiences. Excited to share their heritage through their passion of coffee and wine, Elisa wanted to create a place that celebrates and experiments with both.
We believe in cultivating connections: encouraging creativity, genuinely getting to know our patrons, nurturing our team, and collaborating with local partners.
We believe that life revolves around connections and people. At The Ministry we want to celebrate community, diversity and individuality within a space that is designed to celebrate life through great coffee, food and wine. Whether you want to plug away and be productive, wind down at the end of the day, reconnect with friends, or stop by for a workshop, we are here for you.”
