⭐️ Visit The Northshore Spotlight ⭐️

Today, we're shining a spotlight on a Covington classic: St. John's Coffeehouse.✨☕ Since opening its doors in 1995, St. John's Coffee House has been serving the Covington community for 30 years this month!! With delicious coffees, handcrafted espresso beverages, teas, and tasty treats, its the perfect local coffee spot. Located in the heart of historic downtown, it's more than just a coffee shop—it's a community staple known for quality, charm, and hospitality.

Did you know they were once Rue de la Course?! They switched over to Saint John's in 1998!!

Whether you crave a perfectly pulled espresso or a sweet afternoon treat, St. John's has you covered. Stop by and taste why locals have loved it for nearly two decades!📍 Visit them on Boston Street in Covington the next time you're in Covington.
