Wild Coffee Roasters, originally named Misty’s Coffee after its founder Misty Kearns, celebrated its 10th anniversary with a day full of festivities on Friday. Customers turned out for coffee, food and cake, while others took part in a coffee cupping demonstration — a process used to match flavors — and watched a live roasting to see just how fresh the shop’s beans really are.

Baristas at Wild Coffee Roasters wore party hats while brewing drinks for a steady stream of customers during the shop’s 10th anniversary celebration.
