ENFIELD — An Enfield resident is seeking Planning Board approval for a downtown coffee shop.

The board is set to consider a minor change of use request for Thomas Morrill’s Carpenter’s Cup Coffee — to be located at 64 Main St. — during a meeting on Wednesday evening, according to a hearing application filed with the town.

The shop’s “goal is to please the coffee palate by providing simple coffees made to order,” Morrill wrote in a letter attached to the application. “Carpenter’s Cup mission is to promote family values and stable communities.”

Morrill, who serves as pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Lebanon on Riverside Drive, off Route 4 near the Enfield town line, did not respond to phone messages seeking comment before deadline Monday.

In addition to serving coffee, Morrill also plans to feature work from area craftsmen.

In his application, he said the shop’s goal is to “craft a family focused community using coffee as the catalyst,” and “to unite various niche trades/crafts/arts centered in a cohesive space.”

A consignment shop previously occupied the 1,800-square-foot space, which is located in Enfield’s Community Business Zoning District, said Rob Taylor, the town’s land use & community development administrator.

Morrill needs the board’s approval for the shop because the space was previously primarily used for retail, Taylor said. The property is on the town’s water and sewer system.

“It’s been sort of a dream of a lot of people in Enfield to have a coffee shop on Main Street,” Taylor said in a phone interview.

Julie Eckert, chairwoman of the Enfield Village Association’s Economic Development Committee, said she thought the coffee shop would be a good fit for the location.

“We are very excited to have a business in that business frontage and I personally would love a coffee shop,” Eckert said in a phone interview.

The “anticipated hours” of the shop are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with an estimated 10 to 50 customers per hour.

The coffee shop application comes nearly three months after the Planning Board approved an application to convert a former laundromat to a brewery on Main Street.

Together, the brewery, scheduled to open in the spring; the renovations on Whitney Hall, which houses the town offices and library and are scheduled to be complete before the end of the year; and ongoing improvements to Lakeside Park on Mascoma Lake off the Northern Rail Trail are “sort of a revitalization of Main Street,” Taylor said.

The Planning Board is scheduled to hear Morrill’s proposal during its Wednesday meeting which begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Enfield DPW Facility, located at 74 Lockehaven Road. It can also be streamed on Microsoft Teams via enfield.nh.us.
