Moore Street Market – More than a Coffee Shop

moore street market_2Walking into Moore Street Market this chilly January morning, I quickly knew I’d come to the right place. Open since last October, Southport has a new coffee/ sandwich shop right downtown.

Proprietors, Emily and Ian, who came to Southport by way of where Emily managed a coffee shop, look like they have already found a niche. It was Ian, ironically that came to Southport first, with another type of venture in mind… But in the end, this was not to be. Ian and Emily, with baby in tow, decided to move to Southport anyway.

They seem happy with their decision and Southport resimoore street market_15_newsletterdents and  visitors are the beneficiaries. Emily and Ian have combined a  delectable made-fresh menu with free-trade organic coffee  in a cozy and inviting atmosphere adorned with local artwork and all the comforts of home. If you see something you like, everything is for sale… from the paintings on the wall, to the vintage kitchen wares and antique glassware, to the chairs you’re sitting in.

is open 7 days a week (how do they do it?) Monday- Friday 6:30-5:30, Saturday 6:30-5:00 and Sundays 7:30-3:00. Come check them out if you haven’t already.
