Today we took our stuff on the road and travelled to Short Hills, New Jersey, where Barbaric Bean Coffee Roasters were the featured chefs at the Williams-Sonoma in the Mall at Short Hills. We featured samples of our freshest Papua New Guinea, Sumatra, & 'Savage Jungle Blend' drip coffee and our fresh baked scones. I'm happy to report all were a big hit!
The customers were so excited to get a free taste of our scones and coffee but I had to cut the pieces really small so they wouldn't run out. It really was a tease now that I think about it. As I am probably my own biggest scone fan, I probably wouldn't be able to stop at just one teensy itty bit of scone. We must have talked with and handed out product to nearly 500 people---that mall was packed! The staff at Williams-Sonoma was just awesome. We brought one of our baristas, Dylan, with us on our road trip-we had such a blast! Tired tonight, but a good tired that was well worth it. Good time had by all.
I'll probably think a little differently as I descend upon the little Costco lady next time I am wanting a sample of her goodies, though. :0)
