We get to wake up every day and serve the best people in their morning/daily coffee. I am just so grateful and thankful to be where we are today. How will we ever learn if we don’t step outside of our comfort zone? But I would never want to not follow my dreams, just because I was scared to fail. As rewarding as it can be, it’s also terrifying. There wasn’t really another business like mine in town and this was my first business that I’ve opened, so the unknown was the hardest part for me. The hardest part for me in the beginning was not knowing. Because of this, was it perfectly smooth, no. I always try to look at obstacles as a problem that I need to solve. It isn’t a question of if they are coming, but when. I have always looked at life as a path that will have speed bumps, detours, road blocks.

And my heart is so full to be able to say that I was able to follow my dreams! The town + people have given us so much love and support. We opened the shop on November 1st, 2018 and here we are today! It has seriously been such a dream. And for whatever reason, it just felt right here in Canton. Since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of opening my own coffee shop and calling it The Pony Expresso. After being here for just a few months, I knew Canton was the perfect place to make my dreams come to life. 2017, built a house and moved to Canton, where he is from. It always blew my mind that there weren’t any coffee stands here in Texas and I knew I wanted to open my own coffee shop in Texas someday.Īfter about five years of working in Dallas, I met my husband Tony. My friends always joke that they know they’re in Washington when there is a mocha stand on every corner.

They are quick + cute and have THE BEST coffee. A Mocha Stand is a small drive-thru only coffee shop. Being from Washington, we have what we call “Mocha Stands” on about every corner. Throughout my time in Texas, I always felt like Texans were missing out on great coffee. After graduating from Baylor in 2011, I moved to Dallas and began working for an electrical distribution company. I grew up in Washington State and moved to Waco, Texas (not knowing a single person) in 2007 to ride on Baylor’s Equestrian Team. Hey there! My name is Katie McFarland and I own The Pony Expresso in Canton, Texas. Today we’d like to introduce you to Katie McFarland.
