Brewport Coffee House marked the opening of its third location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, April 12, at the newly renovated Mastic-Moriches-Shirley Community Library (MMSCL). Library trustees, senior staff, and Brewport’s owners were on hand to celebrate the occasion, welcoming the locally beloved coffee shop into its newest home.

This new café marks Brewport's second partnership with a public library. Its flagship location in Bellport, and a successful café inside Sachem Public Library in Holbrook, have made Brewport a favorite among book lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike.

MMSCL Board President Joe Maiorana hailed the opening as the fulfillment of a vision long shared by the community. “When we designed the new building, a café was one of the most requested features. Brewport is a perfect fit, and we’re thrilled to welcome them,” said Maiorana. “We hope this is the start of a long and meaningful relationship that enhances the library experience for everyone.”

Brewport’s co-owner Joe Sanfilippo expressed gratitude for the warm reception. “The Shirley community has been incredibly welcoming,” he said. “We’re excited to be part of such a vibrant and engaged community, and we look forward to being a daily stop for patrons, whether they’re here to study, meet friends, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee.”

With cozy seating and Brewport’s signature menu of specialty coffees, teas, and fresh baked goods, the café is already drawing enthusiastic visitors. Online ordering will be launching soon to make grab-and-go even easier.

Brewport at MMSCL is open during the following hours:

Monday–Thursday: 9:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Friday: 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Saturday: 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Sunday: 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
