who is penny?
Rachel Pace - who also answers to Penny - is the Owner and creative force behind Penny Brew LLC. She was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and left to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Upon graduating she moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania for work and after a few short years responded to the tug at her heart to relocate to Washington D.C. She had previously fallen in love with D.C. during her frequent visits with college mates so it was a dream come true for her to officially be a resident of the nations capital.
After 4 years of being a DC resident, Rachel was graced with the opportunity to purchase her first home, in historical Ward 7 of D.C., and shortly after Penny Brew LLC was born. She merged her enthusiasm for coffee with her desire to positively impact her immediate neighborhood. Her goal is to not only brew delicious coffee but to provide a space where neighbors, strangers, coworkers, friends and family can convene.

what does penny brew mean?
Penny Brew cares a lot about positively impacting the community, as a collective. Their concept is based on the idea that two people are better than one - more is accomplished by working together. Similarly, two pennies have greater value together than they do separately. So Penny Brew fosters a space that encourages customers to meet, network and collaborate for the empowerment of each other and the community as a whole.
