About Me:: I enjoy the simple things of life. Family, friends, and great moments. There is nothing worse than a bad cup of coffee and nothing better than a great one. Latte art, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful art forms there is.
About My Company:: I work at Beyond the Bridge Cafe in Sumner, WA. I have been there since the new owners took over in November of 2006. I worked there for the previous owner when the business was called Just Next Door, since 2004. We have come a long long way since those days and are constantly striving to learn more and more about coffee so that we have provided the best tasting cup of coffee in town as well as the most beautiful. Adjusting the atmosphere and providing a staff that is just as excited about coffee as the owners are. Being able to inform customers about the what's and why's in the coffee making process is important.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?: Beyond the Bridge Cafe, Caffe D'arte, and foam art.
