Coffee. Create. Celebrate.
Organic Coffee Bar
Our coffee is organic and fair trade. Our method of brewing is the pour-over method. Many believe this renders the best-tasting coffee, and so do we! Old Post utilizes both manual and mechanical methods of pour-over. Our mechanical machines are Mocca Masters manufactured in the Netherlands.
We spent over a year developing two proprietary roasts that you can only find here.
Old Post Light Roast: Organic, Fair Trade blend from three different regions of the world: Earthy, dark chocolate, and almond base with hints of vanilla and anise and a blueberry finish.
Old Post Dark Roast: Organic, Fair Trade blend from two different regions of the world: smooth, woody chocolate base balanced with hints of raisin and baked peaches.
Old Post also offers delicious organically-baked sourced from a variety of local bakers.
A Home for Creators
Old Post has eight artist studio spaces for rent in the basement aka the “bomb shelter” of our building! Come create in this beautiful space with us. If interested, call us to set up a tour of our available spaces.
We plan to pull from our in-house and local-area artists for upcoming art shows!
Dear Celebrators, Friends, Family, and Community…
Although this letter is not written to you on this exact date, it is where our story to you begins. My momma and I have long had the idea to go into business together. We didn’t exactly know what we wanted to get into, only that we wanted it to be creative and to celebrate people. We kept the idea for years when my dad made an appointment to see the old Easley post office that was for sale. Never dreaming it would be ours, we explored it anyways. It just felt good being inside that building. There was a spy room, the original safe, pink Tennessee marble wainscoting in the front room, terrazzo flooring, and a massive terra cotta relief from Roosevelt’s New Deal art program for federal buildings.
We’re Excited
Old Post 1940 has celebrated over 50 weddings since hosting its first on November 28, 2020. We have loved being a part of these lovely events and will always be in awe of how each one transformed Old Post into its own unique and beautiful space. We are so grateful for the joy and love they left behind in our walls and floors. We still feel it. We treasure the couples, families, friends, & vendors we had the pleasure of working with in celebrating one of the most special of days. Thanks to you all.
We celebrated our last wedding on February 21, 2026. Stay tuned for Old Post 2.0 coming soon. We’re excited.

Testimonials
Inspiration for Coffee Shop
Our family enjoys coffee and recognizes its health benefits. We were lead to choosing organic foods yrs ago in whatever we could. Conventional foods are largely GMO’d and we avoid that. We trust God’s original creation and genetically modified we also see as “God Move Over”. We wanted to offer access to clean organic coffee to our community.
Goals for Old Post
We believe in serving others as part of our calling. Several people commented to me after learning we intended to open an organic coffee shop as part of our business, that a larger nearby town suited that intent better, that Easley didn’t value healthier choices like an organic coffee shop. I disagreed. This is where we live. And I’ve observed many cleaner food choices like organic were regularly being bought at area grocery stores. That and rise of farmer’s markets & smaller markets offering raw milk and local farmed eggs told me otherwise. Most importantly, I cannot offer harmful products to my community. The teacher in me wants to let people know clean foods matter. Food should be delicious and NOT hurt us.
The Easley Area & Railroad Experience
Old Post’s history of its original purpose & a formal eye center by a very well loved doctor, Dr Lyday, are intrinsic to its appeal. Its history is impactful in the community memory. And it’s a beautiful building constructed with solid materials that attracts people that just happens to run parallel to a vital form of transportation. The sight and sound of the train & hearing that train signal is both reminiscent and powerful. Also, the building itself elicits in people a sense of the integrity of the structure, and the verses we placed as a family under the wooden floors are impactful. God’s word is alive and working. Our sign reads Coffee Create Celebrate. God’s creation is worth celebrating and that’s what we know & want to impart.
