    Hi Loren -- Congratulations on such a great shop! It definitely looks like you're doing everything the right way! I'm very new to the industry, and will be opening my shop late this summer. It's so great to see people taking coffee and the business of it so seriously. Good luck !

    Looks like a great space! I would love to visit when I'm in the ATL next. I honestly love seeing people of color doin' big things in this industry. So often I find myself one of the few people of color in the room anytime I'm at an espresso bar. I hope to take this style of coffee back to NY myself someday.
