MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Introducing JJ Garber,

owner of Evexia Cafe

Business Name: Evexia Cafe

Hi! I'm JJ and I own Evexia (along with my amazing husband Bryan). I have been food-obsessed since I was born probably. I really got hooked watching Good Eats after school with my brother. I fell in love with the science of cooking, the whys and how's of it all.

Fast forward a few years, after getting an MA in Linguistics, my sister INSISTED I take some cooking classes because we all knew it was what was in my soul. I completed a pastry and culinary program at the (much missed) Western Reserve School of Cooking and knew I would never do anything else. Fast forward again, got married, had 3 kids in 3 years, then ended up living the SAHM life for 8 years...

Bryan and I spent most of 2020-2021 developing Evexia: me, writing and testing recipes and him, just about everything else. We had so much help and family/friend support and we are eternally grateful to all of you.

I am incredibly happy to be able to share my food with so many people: to me, that's what it is all about. Thanks to all of YOU for the love and support. We are constantly working to bring you even better food and services.

If you see me around, say hi! (You probably won't though because I am usually hiding in the back).

Stop in and see us soon!
