Walk into The Charging Station and you’ll find a menu of premium coffees and teas alongside made-to-order food served all day—from burritos and bowls to pastries, sandwiches, and fresh greens. But for owner Michele Mower, who runs the business with Felicia Mendoza, the offerings are only part of the story.
“It’s bigger than coffee and tea,” Mower said. “The Charging Station is a neighborhood. It’s communal. It’s community-driven—an elevated coffeehouse experience North Lincoln hasn’t seen before.”
Rooted in Havelock’s historic district, the space blends natural wood, exposed brick, and open beams with a warm, intentional feel. Every detail reflects Mower’s vision: a place where people stay, connect, and feel community. With a background in leadership and operations, Mower leads with a people-first approach that shapes both the guest experience and team culture.
“We lead with heart,” she said. “I want people to feel seen, supported, and valued.” That vision drives everything The Charging Station does. “When small businesses succeed, communities grow stronger, people feel more connected, and families have real opportunity. It’s not just revenue—it’s impact, every single day.”
