OUR STORY

Filtered Coffee has been a beloved gathering place in the heart of McKinney for over 10 years. First opened by Desiree Hlavenka in 2014, the shop quickly became known not only for its exceptional drinks, but for the warmth and hospitality that welcomed everyone who walked through the doors. From early mornings with regulars to quiet afternoons filled with conversation, Filtered has always been more than just a coffee shop — it’s been a space for connection.

In October of 2024, Filtered entered an exciting new chapter when it was purchased by Jacob Honescko and a group of local community members who shared a deep love for the shop and its impact on McKinney. With that same spirit of hospitality and excellence, the new team continues to build on the foundation Desiree created — thoughtfully designing every detail, serving drinks with care, and cultivating beautiful moments that bring people together.

Today, Filtered remains committed to being a space where people feel seen, known, and inspired — whether you’re here for your daily coffee, a team meeting, or a quiet moment to yourself. We’re proud of where we’ve been and excited about where we’re going, all while staying true to what makes Filtered special: genuine connection, excellent service, and a deep love for our city.
