Kramer’s full drum kit from the “Let Rock Rule!” work tour will be displayed in a glass jewel case outside the store. Rock-and-roll images and memorabilia, plush couches and ornate moldings and fixtures will give off a rockstar atmosphere.

“I’ve always wanted to start my own business and I’m humbled by how far Rockin’ & Roastin’ has come in the past couple of years,” Kramer said. “Opening up our flagship café is another way that I can continue to entertain fans in new and unique ways.”
