Gettin' To Know Sarah Haas | Owner of The Bear Creek Cafe

In this episode, Frank sits down with Sarah Haas, owner of the newly reopened Bear Creek Cafe, to discuss the recent reopening after her parents ran it from 1997–2023. Sarah shares her background growing up in Bear Creek as the oldest of 10, working in the cafe, homeschooling experiences, years in St. Louis, raising four children (including an adopted daughter from Ethiopia), and earning degrees in English and theology with plans for hospital chaplaincy that shifted due to timing and family needs. She explains how community encouragement helped the process, describes the historic building and decor, outlines menu staples and new items, expanded espresso drinks, and future ideas like Sunday brunch and evening community events, and details permitting challenges and strong local support.To learn more about The Bear Creek Cafe, visit their Facebook and website.If you or someone you know wants to be featured on our podcast, visit our website!
