Facing the redevelopment of his coffee shop, Josh Brown found a helping hand in the form of longtime customer, father Billy Tweedie, whose nearby church will serve as the new home for the Crestview favorite.

There existed a time — when many in Austin might have thought a Chemex pour-over was a method to treat a clogged shower, and ordering coffee from an app was still a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye — that coffee shops here served as relaxed meeting spots, refuges for slackers and those working in their minds and not their laptopped silos.
