Bluffton coffee shop under new ownership

Now called The Twisted Wisk

Bluffton's coffee shop is under new ownership by three persons with Hardin County connections. The cafe, at 101 S. Main St., is renamed The Twisted Wisk Cafe.

The new owners are Samantha “Sam” Erter and Jessi and Luke Davis. The three have known each other since their school days in Kenton.

The three purchased the coffee shop and building from previous owners, Phil and Sharon Zimmerly. The Zimmerly’s owned the coffee shop for the past nine years, purchasing it from Whole Bean S Corp.

“The new name stresses that while coffee is served, a breakfast and lunch menu is also available. The new café’s logo will include a coffee cup,” said Erter.
