Samuel’s was born out of a long -time dream of founder and creator, Moyna Murphy-Matheson. The vision for Samuel’s was quite simply to create a space to bring people together through great coffee.  

Having recently moved to Summerside , the birthplace of her mother’s family, she wanted to bring a sense of place to the community; a place to gather , to inspire, and share the culture of the people and happenings in and around it. Having grown up with stories of her entrepreneurial grandparents and the bustling downtown of Summerside, Moyna wanted to play a small role in being a part of its rebirth. Motivated by the efforts  of those before her and a passion for creating an impact with something new.

Today, Samuel’s is a landmark in the downtown area with three locations. The continued growth and success is in large part due to the diverse talents and people who have been a part of the team-past and present, and the community and people who support Samuel’s in their mission; Fuelling Community through great coffee, locally inspired food, and exceptional service.
