About Me:
Im a post apocalyptic advertising copywriter with a taste for coffee, an English Lab named Dwight and the sight of corporate executives hung by their suits from rafters. OK, so I'm a little on edge this morning. But a few hours behind my 4-Group and some great espresso and I'll be good to go. Started Bunbury's Coffee Shop four years ago after a lifetime workin' for da' man and never looked back. We brew and sell as much fair trade, organic, rainforest alliance and bird friendly coffee as possible in our 650 sq-ft. shop. We bake all our own pastries fresh daily, do a pounding business and generally love the industry and the wonderful people in it.
And yourself?
About My Company:
I really gotta read down these things before I shoot my wad and write it all in the first box.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The way we all seem to help each other, unlike the cutthroat, dog-eat-dog world of American corporate business.

    I belong to a bike group and we tour around Rockland a lot. While traveling through Piermont last month, we've stopped at your shop -- great place. Josh Williams

    Yep, barista, proprietor, bottle-washer, you name it. My place seats about 65 and we do a huge weekday lunch take-out business. Thanks for responding –– I was told you've retired from the day to day shop stuff.

    Hi there - sounds like you do a little more around your shop than just show up once in awhile. Maybe your staff just doesn't appreciate your efforts when you are there. My ex-wife was like that, which I guess is why there's that 'ex' part in front of wife.
    My bike club travels in Rockland a lot, so I'll be sure to stop by. Josh
