Our Story

Christie's culinary journey started at age nine in her Nana's kitchen in Ramsey -- breads, pies, and the family desserts she still makes today. She brings more than fifteen years in the restaurant industry, including restaurant management in Western North Carolina.

Her custom cake business ran for a decade in Virginia and Ramsey, earning a nod in Woman's Day and a following among party planners. Her work has supported Icing Smiles, Operation Shower, and local charities. When she isn't baking or running the floor, you'll most likely find Christie doing what she does best: serving desserts and drinks while belting out off-key 70s and 80s hits.

A Bergen County native and Ramsey resident, Amanda has been with Tin Can since the beginning. She's a lifelong baker who once owned Seattle's Manderin Cookie Company, where her cookies were featured in coffee shops across the city and ranked in the national top ten for chocolate chip.

At The Station she coordinates private events, organizes classes and workshops, and curates the local art on the walls. Her pies, cheesecakes, and jam bars rotate through the pastry case. She has also been known to work the espresso machine while providing the musical entertainment.

Ranjini comes to The Station from a 25-year career supporting innovation in the MedTech industry. New to cafe work, her appreciation for good coffee and good food is rooted in her South Indian heritage.

She runs daily operations, supports the team through service, and helps with events and classes. Outside work she's reading, doing puzzles, or out at live music, theater, and dancing -- and advising her two adult children, invited or not.

Micah's coffee habit started early, with a mother who served them warm coffee before school. They pursued an English degree and found their study spot -- and their calm -- in local coffee shops.

After a year behind the bar and a break from college, they never lost the satisfaction of making someone's day better with a good drink. The Station has given them both a craft and a sense of family.
