If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?: yes
Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.: I won't let you exchange away any of the baristas I like, but if anyone wanted to send my favorite ones to NYC from Toronto, Chicago, DC or elsewhere, who am I to stand in the way of their doing so? [Note: this all happened after I wrote this blurb.]

Me going to SCAA sort of depends on how important it is to actually pay rent for may. Some day I'll find a way to actually make money through coffee... but not this day! (...probably see in you in MSP.)

gladly, I mean, everyone in this town is doing it......and um....you didn't tip us???....was it because I displayed an arrogant nature to a gentlemen who wanted his espresso to go?

Devastated to learn of your Doughnut Plant misfortune . Better days loom ahead with Valronha Chocolate , Vanilla Bean and Coconut Cream Custard . The fresh Strawberry was not F*** ing around either .

Mostly Maligned Doughnut ion the horizon . Disenfranchised doughnut lovers unite !

Unraveling plans for return to beloved New York .

Patsy Grimaldi is a force of nature . Mike White and Dan Griffin are American soul heroes .

Beautiful !

Chocolate guanache - vanilla custard infused bombolini served up at this morning's Slow Foods Nation curators ... Inspirational . Serious doughnut game indeed !

Thanks dude. Sucks that we couldn't hang out more. I ended up leaving pretty early on Sunday. I was having a coffee overload...physically and mentally.

Next time you're in Chicago give me a yell, and we'll go for drinks.
