The Interior

For serious coffee lovers, Pollen is perfect for an excellent brew and a gorgeous gathering. In this thoughtfully-designed space, set among lush garden views, it’s the cafe you’ll never want to leave.

The Founder
With a Masters in Human Resources under her belt, Tracy Keeley set out to create a beautiful space that felt like home, where guests could relax, chat and dine in a unique setting. Understanding the importance of social connection, Tracy intentionally created a space where customers can thrive, connect and engage. “Feeling alive, present and fully abundant is what life’s all about. Pollen aims to encapsulate that feeling. I’m so proud of this space, and especially proud of our team members who make every guest feel so welcome.” ~ Tracy Keeley, Founder of Pollen.
