About
A Community Gathering Place
Brewminatti began with a simple idea: create a comfortable and welcoming place where people could gather, share life, meet an old friend, make a new one, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and experience remarkable live music right here in Prosser.
But the story of this space began long before Brewminatti.
A Continuing History
The name, the offerings, and the people behind the counter may change over time, but the purpose remains remarkably consistent: to provide a place where everyone can feel welcome and, hopefully, find a little of what they need."
Beck Hardware Chapter One
Before the coffee shop, this was Beck Hardware—a place where neighbors crossed paths, stories were told, advice was shared, and more than a few local problems were likely solved. In one form or another, this corner has long been a place where Prosser comes together.
6th Street Coffee Company Chapter Two
Before Marty and Lenee Taylor opened Brewminatti, the building was home to 6th Street Coffee Company, created and operated by Caren Mercer. Caren helped establish the space as a beloved local coffee shop and gathering place, and a piece of her story remains here today. Her bicycle and information about her life are still displayed in the building as a reminder of the people and history that helped shape it.
Marty & Lenee Taylor August 2015
Marty and Lenee brought the next chapter to life when they opened Brewminatti in August 2015. What started as a leap of faith grew into something truly special—a coffee shop, a nationally respected listening room, and a gathering place that became part of the fabric of our community.
Peter & Jesalyn Cole 2026 — Today
In 2026, Brewminatti entered its next chapter when Peter and Jesalyn Cole and their family became its new owners. We did not take on Brewminatti because we wanted to replace what had been created. We took it on because we believe deeply in what Brewminatti already means to Prosser—and because we see so many opportunities to build upon that foundation.
Honoring What Marty and Lenee Built
We are enormously grateful to Marty and Lenee for their vision, their years of hard work, and the heart they poured into this place. They proved that an intimate venue in a small town could attract extraordinary musicians from across the country and around the world. They also created something even harder to define: a place where people feel welcome, where artists are genuinely heard, and where community happens naturally.
We are committed to continuing that musical legacy.
Brewminatti will remain a listening room where the performance matters, where musicians and audiences can connect, and where both established touring artists and emerging talent can find a home. Live music will continue to be central to who we are, alongside trivia nights, community gatherings, local performances, and new events that give people more reasons to come together.
Thank you, Marty and Lenee, for trusting us with something so meaningful. We are honored to carry it forward.
The Next Chapter Our vision is to make Brewminatti an even more active and welcoming part of everyday life in Prosser.
Every decision will be guided by the same question:
Will this make someone’s day better?
Because coffee, food, beer, wine, cider, books, concerts, and events are all important—but they are not the real reason Brewminatti exists. Brewminatti exists to improve people’s days. It is a place to pause, connect, celebrate, discover something new, or simply feel a little more at home.
Coffee. Music. Life.
This space has served Prosser in different ways for generations. Our hope is that it will continue to be a place where stories are shared, friendships are strengthened, music is discovered, ideas are exchanged, and people find whatever they may need that day—a meal, a cup of coffee, a conversation, a song, a quiet corner, or simply a sense of belonging.
We are incredibly thankful for the welcome, encouragement, patience, and support we have received from Brewminatti’s customers, staff, musicians, neighbors, and friends. Jesalyn and I—and our entire family—are excited to help write the next chapter of this remarkable place.
We hope you will be part of it. We’ve been expecting you :)
