About Hops & Flower
Our beginning and founder
Our Beginning
We began with a simple idea: a bottle shop (Hops) and a cannabis dispensary (flower).
But then we found the perfect location with a full kitchen, a quaint bar, and a lovely room with lots of windows and natural light. We couldn’t resist the temptation to turn it into so much more–a space with thoughtfully curated experiences all under one roof.
From fresh deli offerings and craft beverages to wellness essentials and premium cannabis products, our goal is simple: to create a place where the community can gather, explore, relax, and enjoy.

Shawn has always been passionate about creating spaces where people can gather and enjoy comforting food with good company.
Drawing on over 20 years in the restaurant industry and the experiences of his other establishments—Luna Rotisserie, Remy’s Lounge, and Rubies on Five Points—he envisioned a casual neighborhood bodega that blends food, drinks, and wellness under one roof.
