Locally Roasted and Delicious!
Our mission here at Big Shot is to make coffee approachable again. We aim to bridge the gap between commercial fast wave coffee service and the slow down sit and serve of more upscale shops. Our goal is to provide tasty coffee, whether it comes as a Java Shake or a Cortado. Our beans are locally roasted and properly matured to ensure peak performance.
We offer a variety of espressos to meet that need. Our default espresso is a traditional dark roast most would think of when considering espresso. We also offer a single origin, naturally processed, light roast espresso out of Brazil. We even offer a Swiss Water Decaf for those who appreciate the craft, but need to sleep later too.
About the Owner
I'm Lydia Baskin, and I've been fortunate to serve in the coffee industry since 2011. My journey has taken me through a small, locally-owned coffee shop, large commercial chains, and a local coffee roaster. Since 2018, I've been running my own private coffee and espresso catering service.
Throughout my varied experiences, one thing has become clear, coffee has a unique ability to bring out the best in people. It's more than just a beverage, it's a catalyst for connection. Coffee shops have always been safe havens for making meaningful connections – whether it's a chat with your friendly barista, catching up with an old friend, navigating a first date, or preparing for a job interview. My love for people comes first and my love for coffee is a close second.
It has been an honor to serve the East Texas area and I hope you trust us with your next pick me up.
