About Me:

I started as a part time barista just for something to do while by daughter was in kindergarden. I had never pulled coffee before, and was just looking for a few extra bucks for fun. What I realized in a few short months was that this, Barista, coffee-shop environment, was what I wanted to do when I grew up. Finally at 34 years old I figured it out! So after a few years of part time here and there, learning all I could about running a shop and interacting with staff members and coworkers, training for one competition and meeting so many cool folks, last month I opened the doors of my very own shop.
