Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I stopped by for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The aroma of freshly ground coffee greeted me as soon as I walked in. I had a BLT and chips. The sandwich had a garlic mayo, which was perfect. The chips were tasty, too. This is a hidden gem! [It has a] very clean dining area and free wifi.” – Erica

A One-of-a-Kind Restaurant’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation

Flood City Cafe has managed to build the kind of reputation any business owner would envy, and to learn a little more about that reputation and this one-of-a-kind business, we sat down with Kristy Hagan, who became the new owner of Flood City Cafe on May 30th.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Flood City Cafe unique compared to the many other restaurants in Pennsylvania. Kristy told us that they’ve been around since 2014 and have a very loyal customer following. They pride themselves on knowing their regulars and are always ready to have a conversation with you when you come in. They are also a tourist destination for people visiting the city because of its history of floods.

When we asked what the secret is to such a solid online reputation at Flood City Cafe, Kristy pointed to the fact that all of their reviews are organic, which says something about the kind of service they offer.

Making the World a Better Place by Giving Back

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Flood City Cafe and how they work to make the world a better place. Kristy shared with us that they are very involved in their community and committed to giving back. They’ve participated in a Johnstown cleanup day; they’ve funded “Cup of Joe” —a program where people buy coffee for people who can’t afford it, and the proceeds go toward beautification and cleanup. They are always looking for ways to be more involved in the city and its local organizations.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Flood City Cafe has grown through word of mouth, community involvement and social media.

It’s clear that Kristy knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Get to know your customers, and be personally involved as the owner.”
