Northwest Ohio

If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?
maybe
Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I currently have two coffee shops in the same town, one is in a historic 100 year old downtown building, the second one is on the other end of town, in a new building with a drive-thru. I've been to several Coffee Fest seminars and love every minute of them. My daughter has competed twice in the Latte Art contest at Coffee Fest. I've met many wonderful people like Jack from JP's, Matt, Brett from Java Java, the entire Dillanos Roasting team and many other coffee lover's too numerous to mention! I've had experience remodeling two historic buildings, one buildout of a newer location, Coffee Fest, Latte Art, Landlord/lease issues, employee issues, competitors to deal with, and the normal lovely things about owning your own business, and "living the American Dream.... haha". I've learned alot and can speak from real, every day experience.... the good, the bad and the ugly!
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
I've never been to Seattle........ (Portland, Oregan is the closest).... I want to travel to Hawaii to a Kona plantation/farm, and anywhere else in the world where coffee is grown. I would also love to visit Italy and Paris. I love the ocean and anywhere tropical.... I just want to go to St. Somewhere.........anywhere there are palm trees.
About Me:
Married for 27 years, three children, well actually four because my oldest daughter just got married and we love him like a son...... I love to travel anywhere I can hear the ocean and I love the coffee world, who knew there was more to coffee than Folgers, Maxwell House and Chock full O' Nuts.....? And I am a true Parrot Head. Nothing puts a smile on your face like kicking back to a Jimmy Buffett CD, except maybe Kenney Chesney.............. "I am just a hula-girl at heart."
About My Company:
Established in 2003. First, local hometown gourmet coffee shop. No automatic machines for us, we make espresso the real way...

Your shop looks beautiful--we too have an old building(Stoney Creek Roasters in Cedarville). Your web site is great too. Stop by if you are ever down this way.

We just opened August 8th. Yes the brick was very hard to clean up and expose. Thanks your shop looks very classy as well. I will have to make a trip up there some day to check it out.

Hey Lisa,
Sorry for the slow response, as on the mobile phone, Barista Exchange sucks!LOL!
Yeah, I know it was way too late of notice. Your downtown shop is fantastic. I love the interior and the deck on the back. You can't ask for a better "coffee shop" atmosphere. The shop by the mall was great too, very fitting for the environment it was in. Lisa, I think, pulled a good shot and made me a capp. She seems to like what she is doing, said she had been there for 1.5 yrs.

Hey Lisa,
My email is not working at the moment. You can get our office number on our website: www.highergroundsonline.com. John is the one you would want to talk to.
And yes, we do roast all our own beans here in Ft. Wayne.

I would love to have a cup of coffee with you. I usually don't have a set schedule, so let me know when you'll be in the Fort & we can make a plan.

That Aspen closed about 3 weeks ago. I've only heard rumors from our milk man. I think thye got a new owner. The milk man said they were going to a bar-b-que restaurant. But don't quote me on that...I got my info from the milk man.
