Empire Coffee and Donuts opened in 2023 to bring fresh, hand-cut donuts to Geneva and the surrounding area. Owners Dan and Rebecca Godwin, along with their son Marshall, wanted a place for whole families to socialize in the evenings. They brought Empire Coffee and Donuts to life with the vision of a place to do homework, play board games, visit with friends, create with Legos, play some vinyl records, and have after work snacks. Look for live music, trivia nights, hosted craft nights, and other events.

The second dining room, nicknamed the quiet cafeteria, can be reserved for private events like meetings, trainings, showers, and birthday parties.

Empire Coffee and Donuts proudly serves Cobblestone Coffee Roasters coffee. Their coffee is certified organic and fair-trade beans that is micro-roasted in small batches at the time of ordering.
