Silly Goose Coffee Company is raising capital to fund space build-out, cafe furniture, back of house equipment, and initial operating capital for a downtown Tillamook café. The build-out and durable furnishings are intended to create an inviting third place where guests can meet, work remotely, or study. Investment in commercial-grade espresso equipment, precision grinders, and an optimized workflow supports fast and consistent service during peak hours, while locally sourced ingredients inform the beverage program. Light fare from regional suppliers is planned to complement hot and cold coffee drinks with pastry and snack offerings designed for add-on purchases.

Operational planning also includes POS technology, inventory systems, and branding to improve throughput and maintain accurate stock during seasonal demand. The café’s warm coastal-inspired design and comfortable seating aim to encourage longer visits and repeat patronage. Beyond daily retail the company plans community connection through events such as live music performances and seasonal gatherings. Over the long term Silly Goose Coffee Company intends to integrate on-site coffee roasting to support beverage preparation and expand retail sales, strengthening its local identity and product variety. Leadership experience from John Northrop as CEO and Kayli Northrop as vice-president is reflected in prior hospitality operations, customer service processes, and inventory management practices that will guide staffing and daily execution as the shop opens.
