In the nine short months since it opened, this sunny coffeeshop has quickly become a thriving neighborhood hub. The cafe inhabits the spot formerly occupied by That\u2019s Sip, whose owner Jennifer Lunsford sold to Mirna Zukanovic and Zerina Gredelj in December 2024<a href=\"http:\/\/year.in\">.<\/a> In short order, this young pair, who are best friends, had put their own stamp on the space \u2013 renaming, refiguring and repainting it, and bringing in the star of the show: a <em>beast<\/em>, a high-end, Oxford-blue (custom painted) La Marzocco espresso machine purchased as soon as sales allowed. \u201cWe did really well, really quickly,\u201d Zukanovic said. \u201cIt was all because of the support that people gave us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also changed the beans which are now sourced from the local Kirkwood roaster Teleo. The house espresso is made with their Brazil bean (decaf with a Columbian bean); and brewed coffee is made with Teleo\u2019s \u201cNeighborhood\u201d blend. And there are an astonishing number of possible drinks to be had on this menu. Foam things and drizzled things, lattes dusted with spice, coldbrews boosted by protein powder and collagen and heavy whipping cream. Teas, as well \u2013 made of jasmine or red berries, lavender and chamomile. The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to make sure everyone has what they want,\u201d Zukanovic said. But the top two sellers, and now Cove\u2019s signature drinks, are July\u2019s Joe, a white chocolate caramel latte; and That Girl, which is a latte crafted with brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"47494\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.saucemagazine.com\/drink-2\/cove-cafe-brings-instagram-worthy-lattes-and-local-flavor-to-south-county\/attachment\/cove-cafe-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?fit=1920%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS R6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1756070840&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cove Cafe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Cove Cafe \/\/&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=450%2C600&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C1600&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=780%2C1040&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C533&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.saucemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cove-Cafe-768x1024.jpg?w=370&amp;ssl=1 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cove Cafe \/\/ <span class=\"image-credit\"><span class=\"credit-label-wrapper\">Credit:<\/span> photo courtesy of Cove Cafe<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, pastries are supplied by Cake House Design Bakery in South County. \u201cWe want to support local business,\u201d Zukanovic said.

Zukanovic was lukewarm about her biology classes at Maryville University. \u201cI didn&#8217;t want to be stuck in a lab forever,\u201d she said. When Lunsford said she was moving on, it sparked a little flame. \u201cWe breathed the idea once, and it wasn\u2019t even two months before the shop was ours,\u201d Zukanovic said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt these two women have the benefit of youth. They live and breathe Cove Cafe. So much so that they are in need of help and are looking to hire more staff as soon as possible. Currently, they have one employee and seasonal help.
