Influencer couple opening stunning coffee shop in 1920s building


Mike and Kayla Tompkins’ next adventure is offline this time.
The Canadian influencer couple who were featured on both The Ellen Show and The Today Show in 2010 for their YouTube videos eventually moved from Canada, to L.A., to Nashville, finally settling in Westerville with their two children. And we’re so glad they did, because Central Ohio is gaining a gorgeous new coffee shop.
Begin Cafe will open this year at 8 E. Main St. in the heart of Uptown Westerville. The Tompkins are utilizing social media to take us through every step of renovating the 1920s building that will soon serve specialty coffee and treats.

From the videos posted on social media, we can already tell it’s going to be stunning. Their designers, Rowe, said the space is, “Inspired by the symbolism of the resilient wildflower; organic textures, pops of color and floral forms will be woven into the space against the more neutral backdrop of the architectural shell. Textured plaster, glazed clay tile, warm woods, concentrated bright colors floral light fixtures and flower patterned wallpaper.”
Check out Begin Cafe’s Instagram for a sneak peek of the space, and stay tuned for an opening date!
