Our Story

Meet the Founders

We’re Ryan and Chesa, and Love Story is part of our story.

Love Story Coffee House & Café grew from the things that have become important to us throughout our journey together—faith, family, coffee, connection, and making time to enjoy life along the way.

What began as a shared dream of creating something of our own became a vision for a coffee house and café where people could feel welcomed, gather around a table, share conversations, make memories, and simply enjoy being together.

Our faith is at the heart of that vision. Romans 8:38–39 reminds us that God’s love is constant and unwavering through every season of life. That truth has shaped our family, our journey, and the kind of business we hope to build—one rooted in love, hospitality, connection, and community.

Chesa | Founder

With a background in education, leadership, and community engagement, I have spent much of my career creating spaces where people feel welcomed, supported, and connected. My love for hospitality, meaningful conversation, and bringing people together helped shape the vision for Love Story.

Ryan | Co-Founder

With years of experience in healthcare, I developed a strong foundation in caring for others, service, and hospitality, while my work as a mechanical assembler has strengthened my attention to detail and precision. I bring my own love for people, coffee, and adventure to Love Story.

Our Family

Our story wouldn’t be complete without our three children, Jalen, Jacob, and Jaida. They work alongside us and are an important part of our family and this journey. While Love Story was founded by the two of us, it truly is a family adventure—one shaped by faith, joy, memories, and love.

Together, we’re building Love Story one chapter at a time, and we look forward to sharing a little of our story while becoming part of yours.
