JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) – Four months ago, 9OYS visited Brewed Downtown in Jacksonville to hear its story.
Now, we are going to back – amid COVID-19 – to see how the local mom and pop cafe is holding on.

The cafe is owned by husband and wife, Eric and Michelle Smith who opened in it in 2012.
The couple has made their cafe home to a lot of locals. Michelle says she craves her customer presence again.
See how the cafe is doing in the video above only on wnct.com’s Online Originals.
