Krankies Coffee now has full service kitchen.

The folks at Krankies have been growing.

A kitchen was added in some serious renovations of the main floor. 2015 was a year for significant improvements to the building at 211 E. Third Street in Winston-Salem’s downtown.

A new roaster was installed to expand the roasting operations.

They grow vegetables at a local garden and buy meat and other produce from local farmers.

Here’s Michael Hastings article about the restaurant side of the enterprise:

The Hastings’ article includes a nice timeline about how this space evolved from a commune, to a non-profit event space, to coffee shop, expansion to coffee roasting & wholesale coffee, to expansion as a kitchen.

Here’s a link to their kitchen information
