WESTERVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) – A Westerville café owned by a married couple known for their YouTube videos will open this month.
Begin Café, located at 8 E. Main St., will begin welcoming customers on April 24 before hosting a grand opening "a few weeks later," according to the shop's owners. The coffee joint's menu has yet to be unveiled, but it will offer both drinks and food.
The new café is owned by Mike Tompkins, 37, and Kayla Tompkins, 37. Before embarking on their journey to create a coffee shop, the couple amassed millions of subscribers on YouTube.
Mike Tompkins is a musician who primarily gained popularity through acapella covers and original songs. He was featured on the Today show and The Ellen Show in 2010, before touring with the Jonas Brothers in 2013. The couple, who have two kids, additionally had a combined YouTube channel dubbed Tompkins Life where they shared family and travel vlogs. While neither channel has been active in years, Mike Tompkins has 2 million subscribers, and the family channel has 17,000 subscribers.
The building housing the café has stood since 1928, and was most recently home to the Grandfather Clock Co. The company relocated to a new building after nine years on East Main Street.

Begin Café will open from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for its first couple of weeks open, according to the Tompkins. It will then open Tuesdays through Saturdays during the same hours after its grand opening.
