DRIP Tasting Room co-owners discuss new Roanoke business
The pair says the space offers coffee, tea, wine, charcuterie, music and community events.
ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - DRIP Tasting Room co-owners Toya Jones and Angelina Dawn Jones joined “Here @ Home” on WDBJ7 to talk about their new business in Roanoke.
A space for connection
The co-owners said DRIP offers more than coffee and tea. They said the business also includes music and record selections, creative gatherings, and community events.
“We believe in the importance of third spaces — places outside of home and work where people can gather, build relationships, and simply exist without the pressure of productivity,” according to Toya and Angelina Dawn.
Music at DRIP
The owners said music is a significant part of their identity.
“From R&B and neo-soul to Black alternative music, we use music as a way to bring people together across generations and experiences,” they added.
The business tagline is “Coffee. Tea. Wine. Charcuterie. Music. Community.”
Events
DRIP Tasting Room hosts ongoing community-centered events, including:
- Coffee in the Music: A music-centered coffee experience with curated playlists, live DJs, coffee and tea flights, and community connection. (Scheduled for Nov. 14)
- Neo Soul Listening Lounge: An intentional listening experience celebrating neo-soul, R&B and the culture surrounding the music.
During their appearance, the co-owners showed viewers a sample of their coffee and charcuterie offerings, including:
- Latte flight: Caramel Macchiato, Fireside, The Real Pumpkin Latte, Salted Caramel Latte
- Lovers & Friends Charcuterie Board: Fresh fruit, cheese, meat, bread, and other accompaniments.
