Simpatico is a kiosk in a building lobby; two fulltime employees/baristas including myself, but "rotating" part time employment. Our barista skils are above average, knowlegeable enough to know and appreciate skills we see in other baristas and shops.

Rome; Costa Rica; Indonesia.
About Me:
Extensive professional background in graphic design, then decided on a career change late in life. I really enjoy coffee and its impact on society, and watching the development of specialty coffee.
About My Company:
Simpatico Espresso has been in business since May of 2006. We operate a kiosk in a building lobby occupied by a majority of non-profit organizations. Our goal is to expand and own a coffee shop to be a more complete participant in the coffee experience, i.e. more space and the ability to control our environment. It has been a personal goal to reach out to other shops to build community.

there will be more! i couldn't pin anything down, but now that you mention it, you were missed. I was cupping coffee with Rich coordinating, so I missed the barista commaraderie. Check with Lauren and John, I think they were having a good time with Matt G. from La prima. It was all good, and another step forward for the coffee community.
(p.s., you missed out on some pretty awesome cupcakes)
