Mountain Chapter & Grind

Mountain Chapter & Grind is a café and bookstore in Johnson City. Coffee in one window. New arrivals in the other. It is the kind of place people settle into for an afternoon. The site had to show the room, the menu, and the shelf, and make ordering ahead simple.

The brief

  • Show the room before anything else.
  • Put the menu and the new arrivals side by side.
  • Make order-ahead the easy default.
  • Keep events and hours current.
