About Me:

22 year old photographer/barista currently living in baltimore looking to relocate within the next year or so to another city.

About My Company:

bluehouse is conveniently located in the old Broom Corn building at 1407 Fleet Street, between Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Fells Point neighborhoods (ample parking is available in the garage across the street). We renovated our 7,000 square-foot location according to our philosophy of earth consciousness. We like to say that we "recycled" our entire space from its formerly abandoned state, carefully preserving many of its historic and industrial details.

All of our products meet at least one of our criteria for environmental friendliness and healthy living; most of them meet multiple criteria. All of the coffee, tea, and milk-based drinks available in our cafe are organic and Fair Trade. Our food is natural and made with fresh ingredients; much of it is delivered fresh daily. We do not have a soda fountain, but our canned and bottled beverages were selected for their healthy qualities and delicious taste.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
