Espresso Alley, with two locations in McHenry, MD, is a pair of small giants that have become gathering spots for locals and visitors alike, serving high-quality coffee drinks, teas, and baked goods in welcoming spaces. Our connection began with a shared love of craft. Coffee and mushrooms both rely on careful sourcing and attention to detail. Owner Allison has been kind enough to donate used coffee grounds for Mighty Yough Farms mushroom substrate. Her commitment to community shows in how they support nearby farms and artisans, often showcasing products in addition to coffee. The collaboration reminds customers that local food systems thrive when businesses work together, and it underscores how mushrooms can be paired with something as simple and beloved as coffee.
