Charleston, South Carolina — We’ve been greeted with a huge helping of Southern hospitality, especially at a coffee shop where you’ll find a lot of sweetness — and not just on the menu.

At Bitty and Beau’s Coffee Shop, cotton candy frappes are the house specialty and very popular.

But they’re not the only thing that makes this place truly special. It’s the people who work here, like Trista Kutcher, who showed CBS News how to craft a beverage.

New concept coffee shop, Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, just had its grand opening Thursday.

We previously reported on the coffee shop’s expected opening back in January where we spoke with Trista Kutcher, one of Bitty & Beau’s employees, who was excited about it being her first coffee shop.

Kutcher isn’t a typical coffee shop worker as she has Down syndrome.

The coffee shop founder, Amy Wright started the new concept coffee shop because she’s an advocate for the value, inclusion and acceptance of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities as she herself has two children with Down syndrome according to the Bitty & Beau’s website.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) – We’ve told you about some people making masks to help healthcare workers in need during the coronavirus pandemic. Others are using their talents to make them more comfortable.

Trista Kutcher is sewing headbands with buttons on the side to help nurses and doctors in the Charleston area.

“I don’t want nurses to hurt their ears,” Kutcher said “It’s very easy to put on their heads and put a mask over top.” The elastic on masks can rub on healthcare workers’ ears because of how often they are worn.

You may recognize Kutcher’s name from her popular Instagram page or her previous work at Bitty and Beau’s downtown. She has Down syndrome and is an advocate for people of all abilities.
