We had the good fortune of connecting with Dylan Capshaw and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dylan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I’ve always wanted to be my own boss and do what I love. As far back as I can remember I have been starting small businesses and running them. I really find joy in creating companies and growing them. Plus, engaging with the community around me is super important to me and I’ve really been able to do that with Stemistry.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Stemistry is a trendy Flower Bar and Coffee Lab focused on innovative drinks and affordable flowers. Stemistry’s Coffee Lab blurs the line between flowers and coffee creating unique drinks never seen before. Stemistry’s Build Your Own Bouquet Bar allows customers to utilize creativity and assemble their own bouquet with help from florists on staff and inspiration around the store. Stemistry also has a breakfast and lunch menu as well as a full pastry menu filled with locally made baked goods. Redefining norms is Stemistry’s specialty.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Morning: Breakfast at Butterfield’s- my all time favorite casual breakfast restaurant.

After Breakfast: BamKaZam- I can’t get enough of this place! It’s so much fun.

Lunch: Handcut- Delicious lunch right by the mall for some convenient shopping afterwards.

Afternoon Coffee: I’d have to run into Press coffee right next to Handcut, even though Stemistry should be my go-to!!

After Lunch + Coffee: Walk the mall

Dinner: Toca Madera- A short drive from the mall, wonderful staff and amazing food.

After Dinner- Nemesis Club, an amazing escape room hidden in the freezer of Soda Jerk at High Street!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There have been so many people who have helped me and supported me along the way. I’ve learned that you will not succeed without others in your corner, and multiple minds are always better than one!

My mom has made everything I’ve done possible. As an entrepreneur and dentist herself she always offers wonderful insight whenever it’s needed and she has taught me the importance of saving money, credit, budgeting, and more. Every time I get stressed, she helps me roadmap a solution and talk me through the issue at hand. My mom has been with me since day 1 of Stemistry and I truly would not have been able to build it without her strong ambition, natural leadership, and support.

I’m also extremely grateful for Claire, my wonderful publicist who has helped me grow Stemistry’s media presence further than I ever thought possible. She has taught me a lot about marketing and how to garner the attention of news outlets and other media sources and I’ve really been able to accelerate Stemistry’s success because of her. Her innovative thinking has also helped incredibly when it comes to our day-to-day work. We just had an extremely successful grand opening in Phoenix for our newest store and Claire made that event a hit!
