Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

New coffee shop, near universities, made it to Chicago's top ten by yelp.com. Forced to close for lack of funding during second summer. Ambiance, coffee quality, trained baristas, and menu items made it win statements like "This coffee shop has heart!" We're in California's Central Coast now, working in local coffee shops to bring up barista standards, and bring a more mellow atmosphere. Looking for an opportunity to help someone open a shop near a college here or in Chicago.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Chicago, Argentina, Seattle.

About Me:

When I was opening the shop my daughter said, "Anything that a coffee shop could have, my mom's will have. She's doing EVERYTHING." I love making "a place to meet" for college students first, then the whole community. Our shop was so warm and accepting we've had customers show up in pajamas and slippers! Our handle was "authenticity" because we believe that is what young people are looking for. My husband and I are back to the start again, but with so much experience in our pockets, yet still thirsty for more training!
