About Christine and Kelly
With several years of experience in the coffee and restaurant industry between them, moms Christine Kedves and Kelly Staszczak had a dream of opening a local coffee shop and cafe. That vision has become a reality—in just 2 months, Batch On Main in Manasquan became the go-to spot for yummy bakery treats, delicious organic food, and creative coffee drinks named after each of their kids. To open during a pandemic has been challenging, but through hard work and a passion, they have found success. Both Christine and Kelly have plenty to say about what it takes and will be sharing with us how they have leaned on each other, what they’ve learned about business, and what they’ve done to build support and reach out to the community over these last few months.
