Sue Pera Email & Phone Number

I purchased Cornerstone Coffeehouse with my husband, Al, in 1999 and have devoted myself to making it a hub of community activity ever since. In 2004, Al and I added the Cornerstone Culinary Kitchen, where several times a month we host salons, cooking classes instructed by Chef Chuck LaPorta and private events for our clients to enjoy.I am extremely passionate about my livelihood, and customers of Cornerstone can find me almost every day working with and getting to know the people of my community. Outside of Cornerstone, I am involved with several community and regional organizations. I have served as Chair of the Capital Region Economic Development Corporation; Chair of the Camp Hill Economic Development Group; and Co-Chair of the Plein Air Arts Festival and Competition.I am deeply committed to the businesses and people who make up my community; the family and friends who have helped shape who I am today (good or bad!); my husband, Al, with whom I have worked for over 20 years (and we're both still alive to talk about it!); and my border collie, Sophia, who gives me unconditional love daily.

Listed skills include Small Business, Hospitality, Event Management, Leadership, and 46 others.

The coffeehouse has also garnered consistent recognition from publications - including Central PA Magazine, Harrisburg Magazine and Susquehanna Style - for its inviting atmosphere, diverse sense of community and strong emphasis on customer service.Stop into Cornerstone for coffee, lunch, after dinner drinks and dessert...then stay for our live music, salons, cooking classes and private events!
