Ziggi’s story began from husband and wife co-founders Brandon & Camrin Knudsen’s dream to build something together. They wanted to create a space where people could gather and feel right at home. Of course, their first thought was coffee. Coffee has always been a vessel for bringing people together so, they set out to open a coffee shop that would provide that space for their community.
