The Cup and Scone was founded by Scott and Jennifer Cranford in early 2018. For the first time in years, Pontiac had a locally owned, dedicated coffee shop & cafe to call its own. Scott and Jennifer brought a Love of God, a passion for coffee, and amazing celiac friendly / gluten free treats right to the Uptown Square. For the next 5 years, thousands of hours of conversations were had, the Bible was studied and discussed regularly, and many memorable events were hosted in our loft.
By 2023, God brought a new chapter to the lives of Scott and Jen. With a growing brood of grandchildren and family to care for, the time came for Scott and Jenn to enter a new season of life: Retirement.
In November, 2023 the Cup and Scone was purchased by cousins Jason Dixon and Aaron Orndorff. It is with great humility and honor that Scott and Jen entrusted us with carrying on the Pontiac tradition that is The Cup and Scone. Our passion for God, Love of family, community, and fellowship, and our independent entrepreneurial spirit were the driving factors in undertaking this endeavor.
Together with our families and unwavering commitment from the whole Cup and Scone team, we will carry on the tradition that Scott and Jen started, and see that The Cup and Scone continues to serve as a pillar to the Pontiac community.
