About Us
Peter Elton is Minnesota through and through. A proud University of Minnesota alum, Peter first pursued a career in healthcare at PrairieCare in Southdale, working in child mental health care. But it was in the heart of the Kingfield neighborhood that he discovered his true passion—not just for coffee and running a café, but for creating a place where community comes together.
His partner, Stephanie Ayala, shares that same vision. Also a proud Gopher, Stephanie is deeply engaged in the local community and is currently earning her MBA at the University of St. Thomas. With her background and passion for people, she brings both heart and strategy to Easy Day Cafe.
Together, Peter and Stephanie founded Easy Day Cafe to reimagine what a neighborhood coffee shop can be. Located near Lake Harriet, their mission is simple: serve excellent coffee, fresh baked goods, and local flavors—while building a welcoming space rooted in community, service, and good vibes.
