Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

We have three locations in our nice little city.
The Cafe' offers a full espresso bar and seating for breakfast and lunch. The 9th Street Annex offers cozy seating plus drive thru service and is also the location for our bakery. The Timberhill drive thru outlet is where it all began way back in 1992 and is a fast, friendly place for a good cup.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

The coffee producing countries of Central and South America for starters. Ironically, I visited the growing regions of Guatemala in my 20's and never thought too much about the coffee. NESCAFE!
