Hey Michelle! I spend way less time on BX than I'd like to but I just saw this post. Are you still on Oahu? Did you get to check out any of the cafes?
I think our "3rd Wave" community is small out here but definitely growing with some excellent places you should check out (or your boyfriend should) if you can!
Are you enjoying Barista Exchange? Is it helping you promote your business and helping you network in this great industry? Donate today to keep it free to all members. Supporters can join the "Supporters Group" with a donation. Thanks!
