arios started in the summer of 2021- founded by a 17-year-old with a deep love for coffee and an early background in the restaurant industry.

The vision was simple: to bring true coffeehaus-quality beverages and thoughtful hospitality to any event, in any location.

Making that possible would require something a little unconventional—so we set out to build it ourselves

Meet ‘arios one’: Hudson Valley’s original espresso trailer and the first official home of arios coffeehaus.

Designed specifically for a small footprint and built from the ground up, ‘arios one’ allowed us to bring a complete espresso experience almost anywhere.

From weddings and private celebrations to community gatherings, the trailer introduced arios to guests throughout the Hudson Valley. In 2022, it also established a regular coffee presence for shoppers at Newburgh Vintage Emporium—planting the seed for what would come next.

In 2023, arios established a more permanent presence inside the Newburgh Vintage Emporium Warehouse.

Our coffee kiosk gave us the opportunity to serve an expanded menu, rain or shine, while ‘arios one’ continued traveling to events throughout the Hudson Valley.

It was behind this coffee counter that I met my partner, Chad. He inspired me to push myself toward the chapter I had always imagined: a storefront where arios could finally become everything I knew it could be.

And so, plans for our first Newburgh coffee shop began.

In July 2024, arios packed up the coffee kiosk and moved just a few minutes away to 60 DuBois Street in Newburgh.

Renovations began. Credit cards were maxed out. Over the next several months—and after more than a few Facebook Marketplace finds—we slowly transformed the space into a thoughtfully designed coffee shop intended to deliver the complete arios experience. This included hauling a ten-foot green booth all the way from Brooklyn, because apparently the perfect booth was worth the trip.

Meanwhile, Chad set out to create a candle company of his own, filling the shelves of our future shop with hand-poured, scented beeswax candles.

Piece by piece, everything came together. The shop was finished, the shelves were stocked, and we were nearly ready to open.

Just before opening, unexpected zoning complications brought everything to a halt. The grand opening was cancelled, and once again, our plans were forced to pivot.

Rather than allow the pause in Newburgh to stop our momentum, we began searching for where the next chapter of arios might take us.

That chapter arrived in Port Ewen, New York.

What began as a conversation with the owner of Ball & Claw Antiques quickly turned into a renovation—and in January 2025, arios Port Ewen opened its doors.

There, we were finally able to create so much of what we had envisioned: an expanded menu, a hospitality-driven experience, and a warm, thoughtfully designed place to gather. Most importantly, we had the opportunity to meet and serve so many wonderful people from another part of the Hudson Valley.

After a year of building momentum, our lease came to an end as Ball & Claw prepared to take the space in a different direction. In January 2026, arios found itself without a storefront once again, while the zoning complications surrounding our Newburgh location remained unresolved.

The unexpected closing of our Port Ewen shop brought another pivot—but this time, one shaped by far more experience, clarity, and confidence.

Our focus is now on establishing a permanent flagship home for arios: a coffeehaus designed intentionally from the ground up, informed by every space we have built, every guest we have served, and every lesson we have learned along the way.

The story is still unfolding—and this next chapter may be our most exciting yet.

This time, though, we’re getting a longer lease.
