Go for it
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, we encourage you to just go for it. Believe in yourself, and do what truly makes you happy.
Build it
Build it and they will come has never been more true. We worked diligently, day and night, to build out our dream coffee shop. Blood, sweat, and tears were poured in to bringing our dream to life. From the bar, to the tables, to the benches… We built almost our entire shop by hand. To see your smiling faces filling up the seats brings so much warmth to our hearts.
Coffee is our passion, but bringing people together seems to be our calling. The Mallard is more than a coffee shop. It is a true third space. A place where you can meet an old friend, make a new friend, or just come to hide away for a while. It seems “cozy” is the word most customers use to describe it. So come cozy up, grab a coffee, and stay a while.
More than a vision
Our vision is to become Decatur's most beloved destination for exceptional coffee and a haven where individuals from all walks of life can gather, find solace, and build connections. We aspire to be more than just a coffee shop; we aim to be a community hub that embodies warmth, inclusion, and a sense of belonging. At The Mallard, we envision leading by example when it comes to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices. Our goal is to create a ripple effect of positive change, encouraging others to join us in making thoughtful decisions that support the health of our planet. By integrating our passion for great coffee with our dedication to environmental consciousness, we hope to inspire a movement within our local community that promotes well-being, harmony, and a shared commitment to a sustainable future.
