SHIRLEY, NY — APRIL 13, 2025 — Brewport Coffee House marked the opening of its third location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, April 12, at the newly renovated Mastic-Moriches-Shirley Community Library (MMSCL). Library trustees, senior staff, and Brewport’s owners were on hand to celebrate the occasion, welcoming the locally beloved coffee shop into its newest home.
This new café marks Brewport's second partnership with a public library. Its flagship location in Bellport, and a successful café inside Sachem Public Library in Holbrook, have made Brewport a favorite among book lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike.
