About Me:
My boyfriend Jesse and I are in the process of taking over an existing coffee shop in San Francisco. We feel there is a high demand for specialty coffee in our city, but not many places where you can get that perfect espresso or a cappuccino.
Our goal is to make exceptional coffee and coffe-based drinks for the local community and eventually become a "destination" coffee bar in the city of San Francisco :)

We both attended the ABC school in Portland, which was an invaluable experience. I highly recommend to all the aspiring coffee shop owners.

    Hey Alex,
    I am new to Barista Exchange and just went through and clicked on a couple of people to see how the whole thing works. I am also super interested to talk to some people from all over the United States and the rest of the world about the differences in coffee from location to location. Anyway hope all is well!

    Hey Alex! It was great to see you both too...the place is looking great! Looks like you've made solid decisions. I wish I could have stayed to help you, but had to get back home. I'll be sure to stop by again the next time I'm in the city, which should be soon!
