Senator Lea Webb Honors Coffee Mania with the New York State Senate Empire Award

CORTLAND, NY – Today, Senator Lea Webb presented the New York State Senate's Empire Award to Coffee Mania, the highest honor bestowed by the State Senate on businesses and organizations that have made significant contributions to their communities. 

Founded December 7, 1999, Coffee Mania began as a humble, family-run specialty coffee shop with a Seattle-style drive-through coffee hut in Cortland, New York. Over the past two decades, it has grown into a beloved local institution with three thriving locations in Cortland County. Although Coffee Mania has grown significantly over the years, it has stayed true to its core values: delivering exceptional customer service, fostering a welcoming atmosphere, and pursuing the perfect cup of coffee.

Beyond its excellent coffee, Coffee Mania stands out for its commitment to fostering a family-friendly environment that extends to both its customers and employees. The shop’s warm, personable service has earned it a loyal customer base and a reputation for making each visit special. Its focus on building relationships within the community has made Coffee Mania more than just a coffee shop—it’s a cornerstone of daily life for many Cortland residents.

"I am proud to present Coffee Mania with the New York State Senate Empire Award," said Senator Lea Webb. "Coffee Mania’s commitment to quality, service, and community spirit sets an example for small businesses across the state. I want to thank the team for their dedication to Cortland and for continuing to make a lasting impact on the lives of everyone they serve. Their success is a testament to the power of small businesses in strengthening our local economies and building vibrant communities."

"Receiving the New York State Senate Empire Award is truly an honor,” said Craig & Michelle Brooks Co-Owners of Coffee Mania. “We are incredibly grateful to Senator Webb for this recognition, and it means the world to our team and the community we serve. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone here, and we’re excited to continue growing and serving our community for years to come."
