Savannah Johnson, Nia Johnson and Arriane Curry will open Roaster’s Savory Tasting, a Black-owned and woman-owned coffee shop in downtown Park Forest.
Savannah Johnson, a 22-year-old Park Forest resident, has always loved to bake. Her sister, Nia, also a of Park Forest and a year older, has worked several jobs as a barista. Both grew up making each other a variety of breakfast sandwiches to enjoy on the way to school. So opening a breakfast and coffee spot where the two can excerise their skills professionally has always been their dream, albeit far-fetched. Then, in August, their mother, Gale Snead-Hart, did something shocking.
All of the breakfast sandwiches, lunch plates, smoothie bowls and drinks are also all made by hand and made to order. “We want people to start the day off in a good mood,” said Savannah, who quit her Amazon warehouse job to work at the store. “None of our food is premade. We take time to put it together. We make it with care.” Savannah’s favorite item is one of the breakfast sliders or the avocado toast.
