2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2018 A new coffee shop opens on South Slope By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian A new coffee shop has opened on the South Slope. A-Town Coffee, owned by Heather Jenson and run by her daughter, Madison Burnett, recently opened in the former Sea Star Satellite along Marine Drive near the Roundabout. Burnett, 19, had been work- ing at Big Creek Coffee Co. in Knappa for three years during high school. After graduating from Astoria High School last year, she went to work full time at A-Town. “I mentioned to my mom that if she ever ran a business, I would always help her out,” Burnett said. Along with Longbottom Coffee from Hillsboro, the shop serves breakfast and lunch items. Whereas the downtown core and the Columbia River waterfront have several coffee shops, A-Town is the only such business on the South Slope or Youngs Bay, and within walk- ing distance of the high school. That’s a nice advantage, Bur- nett said.

Both continued to cook at the bistro while running the food cart. “We want to be able to save some money and be able to travel, but Astoria is so expensive that I don’t think that could really ever work for both of us,” Beek said. The two plan to relocate their cart to Des Moines, Iowa, where Evans said new breweries are popping up and inviting them to set up shop. “We can afford to work at the food truck and not have to do anything else” in Iowa, Evans said.

They acquired the former DJ’s Vinyl Vegan food cart and in August opened bAKos next to the Boomer’s hot dog cart, serving gourmet burg- ers and tacos on fry bread- like shells, corn tortillas and in nachos. Earlier this month, Beek and Evans closed the shop and announced they were moving back to Iowa to be closer to family. “It was great,” Beek said of running bAKos. “The people of Astoria were wonderful.” But the two also found living and running a busi- Programs to help home- less people in Clatsop County are scheduled to start at a new Astoria location on Nov. 1, but anyone can get a first look at the facility during an open house Sunday.
