Established in 2024 as a space for community to gather and enjoy handmade pastries and coffee
Hannah Rodriguez
co founder + director of coffee
Hannah actually didn’t drink coffee till late high school. What began as an outing with mentors from church led to a passion for connecting with people over the simple drink we have everyday. She spent two years as a barista then general manager at a speciality shop in Davidson, NC and now runs the coffee program at Haven. She grew up in south Florida with her brother Noah before the family moved here in 2020. Outside of the shop, she enjoys writing, hiking, and buying all the random frames at goodwill.
Noah Rodriguez
co founder + jack of all trades
Born and raised near Miami, Florida, Noah has always been searching for his next barter or business venture. His passion began with reselling high end sneakers before it was cool and journeyed to beginning a bakery with his now wife, Ava. He often quips to customers that he’s the taste tester, can be found pacing outside on various phone calls, and is the inventor of the strange but wonderful danishes offered on savory Saturdays. Outside of the shop, he enjoys pickleball tournaments, watching any and all sports, and finding the best eats in the Lake Norman area and beyond.
Ava Rodriguez
co founder + head baker
Ava’s roots are in backcountry Pennsylvania where she grew up baking for her family and later began doing custom and wholesale orders from home. Her chocolate chip cookies were the OG beloved staple and now she’s a self taught master of laminated doughs and cake creations. She moved to North Carolina in 2020 and met her husband, Noah, shortly after at church. They got married March 2025. Outside of the shop, Ava loves pursuing her passion of interior decorating, playing pickleball, and scoping out good restaurants alongside Noah.
