Employee Spotlight: Meet Lacy at Simply Poured

If you’re looking for a reason to love Madisonville even more...

Let us introduce you to Lacy, one of the coolest baristas you’ll ever meet.

Simply Poured isn’t just any coffee shop—it’s the place where caffeine meets community, and Lacy is the queen of both. At just 18 years old, she’s already stealing hearts and making perfect lattes like she’s been doing it forever.

Let’s spill the tea (or coffee) about why Lacy is such a rockstar at Madisonville’s favorite coffee spot.

Discovering the Joys of Coffee

When Lacy joined Simply Poured, she was stepping into the world of coffee for the very first time.

“This is my first coffee job,” she says.

In just seven months, Lacy has gone from a newbie to a pro. She’s mastered espresso, latte art, and probably memorized more drink orders than most of us could ever hope to remember.

It’s safe to say she’s got this coffee thing down.

Why Lacy Loves Working at Simply Poured

“What’s your favorite thing about working here?” we asked. And Lacy, like any true coffee aficionado, couldn’t pick just one thing. “It’s hard to decide. There are so many benefits,” she said, flashing a grin.

For Lacy, it’s all about the little things—like memorizing a customer’s order.

“It’s a bonding thing,” she explains. “When you know someone’s drink by heart, it shows that we care.”

And they do.

Lacy and the Simply Poured team don’t just make coffee; they make connections, one cup at a time.

Of course, it’s not just about the customers. Lacy also loves working with her team. “We all care so much about making sure our customers love their drinks,” she says.

Simply Poured’s Role in the Madisonville Community

If you’ve ever visited Simply Poured, you know it’s more than just a coffee shop. It’s where Madisonville comes to work, chat, and caffeinate. According to Lacy, it’s “a place that keeps it simple.” Whether you’re here to knock out some emails or catch up with a friend, Simply Poured has you covered.

And let’s not forget the magic of strangers becoming friends. Lacy loves watching customers strike up conversations over their morning coffee.

“It’s amazing to see how a nice coffee drink can bring people together,” she says. Honestly, it’s like the shop is Madisonville’s unofficial matchmaking service. But instead of romance, it’s all about good vibes and great coffee.

Lacy’s Favorite Drinks to Sip and Serve

Lacy’s love for coffee doesn’t stop at making it—she’s got some go-to favorites on the menu, and trust us, you’re going to want to try them.

  • The Kick: This dreamy combo of honey, vanilla, and cinnamon is basically a hug in a cup. Perfect for those mornings when you need a little extra motivation (or just an excuse to treat yourself).

  • The Willow: If you love bold flavors, this one’s for you. Brown sugar cinnamon, hazelnut, and salted caramel come together for a drink that’s as indulgent as it sounds.

“These are the drinks I always recommend to customers who want something special,” Lacy says. And if there’s anyone who knows what’s good, it’s her.

A Young Barista’s Perspective

At just 18, Lacy’s balancing her role at Simply Poured with other commitments, proving that she’s as hardworking as she is talented. While this might be her second or third job, it’s clear that working at Simply Poured has been a game-changer.

“I’ve gained so much confidence here,” she says. “From learning how to make drinks to interacting with customers, every day brings new opportunities to grow.”
