What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?: Anywhere there is good food and coffee. I am just as passionate about food as I am about coffee. So anywhere I could find both, would be my own little slice of heaven :)

I love it and couldn't see myself doing anything else.

Hey, thanks for all that fun! I held up a lot better at this tamp off than I did at the last one I was at! When is the Latte Art comp? Not that I'll win, but it would be awesome to hang out with y'all again. <3 M.

Hey, I've been a mon ami fan since it opened, downtown coffee kid, we've met and talked etc... I always seem to miss you when I am in there, is there any opportunity at all ever in the future that you can forsee of you being in need of another barista on your team? I am a happy whole foods worker, butwould love so much to get with some coffee again. Cheers
