Drank it! Specialty Coffee Podcast

North Carolina's Surprisingly Great Coffee Scene: Chandler Wrenn, HEX Coffee

Episode Summary

HEX didn’t start with a flagship roastery - it started with no running water, seven seats, and a coffee bar tucked inside a beer shop. Chandler shares how that scrappy beginning became one of the South’s most talked-about specialty coffee brand- but this conversation goes far beyond origin story. Chandler opens up about building Hex over 11 years, moving from abandoned office spaces and pump systems to a new production facility in South End Charlotte that’s designed to last. He explains why he says Charlotte is full of potential, still figuring itself out - and why he sees HEX as part of the city’s next chapter, not just another cafe. Find out from NC's best why NC coffee has gained the recognition of "punching above its weight" on this episode of the Drank it! Podcast!
