Hey Steve, thanks for the welcome. My hubby and I are in the process of opening a coffee/tea house and I stumbled on this sight while researching. What a great resource. I'll have lots of questions along the way and hope there are some experts here that can lend a hand.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Steve -- much needed as it's quite chilly here as well! Did you manage to visit Manic and Ideal? They're two of my favourite places here. Do you have any recommendation for coffee shops in NB? I'm hoping to make it out there on an east coast road trip some time this summer.

Hey Steve,
Just like Vanessa below here, I often neglect to check the bottom of my profile to see messages and I just realized that you were looking for a mug back in December. In case you haven't already gotten one, you can pick them up, along with other merch, at http://www.coffeekids.org/shop.

Let me know if you need anything else. And be sure to sign up for our monthly e-newsletter at http://tinyurl.com/7yxkza.

Take care!
