Today is a celebration… and a bittersweet one 🤍
If you’ve been part of the Coffee Central by Ethnos | Specialty Café family over the last seven years, chances are you’ve been greeted by the smile of Mikayla Roberts.
From the very beginning, mikayla roberts has been part of our story. She first walked through our doors as a customer with friends on a Saturday night. Not long after, she joined our team as a barista. Through hard work, leadership, and an incredible passion for specialty coffee, she grew into our Bar Manager, General Manager, and eventually Head Roaster and Director of Coffee for Ethnos Coffee Roasters ✨
More than the titles, Mikayla has loved our people, served our community with excellence, mentored our team, and carried the vision of Coffee Central and Ethnos with grace. Her palate for exceptional coffee and her heart for hospitality have truly helped shape who we are today.
As she and Hayden prepare to welcome their second precious baby, we couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter. Motherhood is a beautiful calling, and today we celebrate her as she steps fully into this new season 🥰
💛 Today, Aug 6th, is Mikayla’s last shift behind the bar until 1:00 PM — Stop by, grab your favorite drink, give her a hug, tip her well, and if you’d like, bring a pack of diapers or a gift card to help bless their growing family! And we will be sure to deliver it to them!

From Tina to Mikayla 💌
Mikayla, you’ve been like a daughter to me. You’ve been a trusted friend, an incredible leader, and someone who has faithfully carried this vision through some of our biggest moments. Thank you for saying “yes,” for serving so well, and for loving this community the way you have.
While we’ll miss seeing your beautiful smile behind the bar and in the roastery, we’re excited that this isn’t goodbye forever. We look forward to welcoming you back in a consulting role in the future.
Here’s to new beginnings, growing families, and the beautiful seasons God has ahead.
We love you, Mikayla.
Congratulations! 🐣🍼🥹
