Beth Grimm
MANAGER
Growing up, Beth Grimm’s late mother often hosted elaborate dinner parties for friends and family, modeling not just a love of food but hospitality. Beth’s passion for coffee began in Minneapolis while managing a Dunn Brothers coffeeshop, learning more while packaging coffee at a local roasting facility, and later honing her expertise managing Caribou Coffee’s corporate location. When Beth moved back to Iowa to support her mom, the community approached her and her husband, Adam, about opening a local coffee shop. A year later they introduced The Lantern Coffeehouse & Roastery in Sibley, Iowa, which now runs 14 years later as a nonprofit and a blessing to the community. Now in Ames, raising their three children and continuing to follow their passions, Beth has worked at Morning Bell Coffee Roasters and Burgies Coffee North. As Bistro Manager, Beth looks forward to meeting new faces and welcoming everyone to the Sixty Forward Center.
