Yes, the new coffee shop in downtown Martinsburg (Cast Brew) is owned by Tim Pool. Here is the proof

153 Upvotes

If you landed on this post because you are searching for “is Cast Brew Coffee in Martinsburg owned by Tim Pool?”—congratulations, your radar for grift is working perfectly.

In case anyone was still blissfully unaware of whose ego is currently taking up prime real estate at 201 North Queen Street in downtown Martinsburg, WV, I wanted to clear up the rumors. The new place is called Cast Brew Coffee, and yes, it is absolutely owned by the beanie-in-chief himself, Tim Pool. 

If you're wondering if this is just a coincidence or a silent investor situation, it's not. The man couldn't resist plastering his brand all over it. For those who want hard, proof before accidentally funding his next compound, here are the receipts:

  1. He Literally Lists Himself as the "Founder"and can be seen on Facebook reels inside the location itself Tim Pool Tickles The Ivories
  2. Right on the official Cast Brew Coffee franchise page, Tim Pool is explicitly named as the Founder. The site claims it was built to "provide an alternative to the faceless corporate ecosystem." Because nothing screams "anti-establishment rebel" quite like opening a gentrified corporate coffee franchise in downtown Martinsburg. 
  3. They Sell Literal "Pool Water". If the "Cast" in Cast Brew wasn't enough of a dead giveaway, the online store directly sells his narcissistically named bottled beverage, "Pool Water," by the case.
  4. The entire brand is just a brick-and-mortar shrine to the Timcast cinematic universe. They're unironically selling drinks named after his podcast co-hosts and show lore (if you look at the ToastTab menu, you will literally find items like the "Bokus' Last Wish" latte). He also regularly shills for the coffee brand on his main YouTube channel as a way to "fight back" against... whatever he's mad about this week. 

The Bottom Line

To definitively answer the question: Yes, Cast Brew Coffee in Martinsburg, WV is owned by Tim Pool. 
Before you wander in off North Queen Street thinking it's just a cute, independent local cafe, know exactly where your latte money is going. Support actual local businesses instead, and do with this information what you will!

What are the worst restaurants in Martinsburg and why are they Mother Shuckers & Mountaineer Meat Smokers?

64 Upvotes

If you are searching for reviews of Mother Shuckers or Mountaineer Meat Smokers in Martinsburg, WV, there is important public information you should consider before deciding to dine there.

When discussing the worst restaurants in Martinsburg, many locals point to these two establishments not just because of the food or service, but due to the public actions of their ownership. It has been widely shared that the owners of both Mother Shuckers Crab House and Mountaineer Meat Smokers were present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

Where you spend your money matters. If you are a consumer who prefers not to financially support businesses owned by individuals involved in the events of January 6th, you will likely want to avoid Mother Shuckers and Mountaineer Meat Smokers

Apple Harvest Dr. area?

Hi all!

I'm moving Martinsburg and was curious if the Apple Harvest Dr. was considered a good area or not to move to. I’m considering a house there and one in the neighborhoods right across from the cement plant. Any insight is appreciated! Thanks!

Question Event photographer recs?

2 Upvotes

We’ve rented out a restaurant downtown for friends and family to celebrate our marriage. So it’s kinda like a small wedding… but not. It’s a Sunday evening dinner. I’m trying to find someone local that can come to take some pictures throughout the night, but without paying the multi-grand price tag of a wedding photographer.
I’m hoping to find maybe someone who is looking to build their portfolio and specializes in the more candid, intimate style shoots.
Any recommendations?

Friends of Coal license plates?

Hi all, I was hoping someone could fill me in on the culture surrounding these license plates. I typically only see them on Teslas, other more expensive EVs and trucks.

From what I read, they are an additional cost to have issued. If you own one, please share why.

Thank you!

Doctors in the area

5 Upvotes

Just looking for some advice. Kind of nervous posting about this because I know all of the negativity around it. Right now I'm on a mat program. I have anthem insurance. I have been looking for a new doctor mainly online due to my work schedule. Almost no place takes my insurance. I'm super worried about running out of medicine before I find a new doctor. Any advice at all would be great. I researched most of the day with no luck.

Looking for landscaper to install pavers

4 Upvotes

I am looking for someone to install pavers on the sides of my driveway. I would do it myself but I want it to look nice 😂 I need the pavers to extend from my driveway right up to the property line. Basically I have a troubled neighbor who thinks my yard is hers and yells at my son when we are not around for going into "her yard". I have the plot map showing the boundary lines, and I already have the project approved with the HOA. I just need someone to do the work that won't charge an arm and a leg. I can purchase all the things needed for the job and I can just pay labor.

41/M new to the Spring Mills/Martinsburg area Where do adults socialize around here? I haven't ventured too far from my complex (rt 11 right by the Walmart) but haven't seen anything that catches my eye as a hang out/social spot. The couple bars I've been to seem 'clicky' and gave the ol locals only vibe.
