Our Story

A Place to Settle In

First Turn started with a simple idea: a spot where people in Maiden could come in, take a breath, and actually enjoy what they're drinking and eating — without the rush or the fuss.

By day, we pour great coffee and serve breakfast and lunch made from real ingredients. By night, the space shifts — the lights dim, the music comes up, and our cocktail program takes over. Same warm welcome, different vibe.

We're on Highway 16 because we want to be easy to find. But we stay here because this is the community we want to serve.
