Meet the Elinburg Family

Brian, Jennifer, Caden, and Kyler are super excited to bring Brightside Cafe to Buford! They have been members of the Buford community for all their lives and have been the proud owners of BE Sports Training for 9 years.

They believe that there is a population of adults and teens with special abilities in our community that deserve a place of employment where they can serve and bless the town of Buford.

Jennifer has been teaching Special Education for over 17 years and believes in the possibilities that Brightside Cafe will provide both the employees and the customers. She can guarantee that all customers will walk out feeling joy and blessed by the happiness that Brightside Cafe will bring in every cup.
