Hi, I am Greta Avakyan, a Master student from KEDGE Business School in Marseille; France; doing a marketing research on the barista community as part of a class assignment. I am therefore looking for people that would be willing to answer a few questions;

Such as why you enjoy this community, or how and when you joined the community?

This would really help me out in my project:

Thank you for your help!

Hey Ben, coming to Salt Lake for visit in couple of months. I'm thinking October sometime. See ya soon! Congrats on your success!!!!!?

Just curious... How much square feet is your shop? Continued success with Coffeenoir!

Ben,

Awesome news that you are open! Can't wait to see more pics and best of luck! Talk to you soon.

LOL, I know right!!! Doing pretty good, still in Denver. How are you?

Hey Ben, let me know when you get open. We just shipped posters, postcards etc... for you to have available. Looking forward to it man! Congrats and Best Wishes for a successful future!

Hey Dude, love your cafe! You are going to own Salt Lake City! Great job! call if you need anything.

Hey Ben!
How's everything going? I may be coming out to your neck of the woods in the next couple of months. I'll definitely want to stop by if I do..
What's the address of your place?

Hey Ben, Sitt'n here at the airport in SLC! Wish I had time to stop by, but alas....not on this visit. I will certainly be back up here soon. shoot me an email and let me know when you think would be a good time to get a decent cup.. :O)

Ben...nice to hear from you. I know the location and stopped for a 5 minute peak in the window when I was driving by on my way to a client's. Corners are twice the exposure, and becoming a neighborhood hangout means you could become a "second home" for allot of "regulars!" About Stoval, I was really surprised when I accidently stopped at this espresso spot on my way back to my hotel room, asked the barista guy if he could make a "traditional cap", and then find out it's Jon! I honestly didn't put 2 and 2 together, not realizing it was Jon from my early days on Coffeegeek. What a pleasant surprise to meet him and Andrea. I'll look forward to stopping by next year for a drink!

greetings from Canada - Steve

Hey Ben, can't wait to come visit. Building looks really cool!

Ben...... stopped in SLC as promised. I'm guessing you have been beyond busy. That's OK. Spent time with Jon and Andrea at Bevalo, and had time to visit John at Cafe de Bolla. At least I know I have places to go for decent coffee when in town. I'll be back again soon. Hope all is going OK for you. The "surprises" don't seem to end when you're trying to get a retail project going. Again, best of good fortune.

Ben......I will probably leave for SLC next Monday or Tuesday. I have one key client to visit, and I would like to fit in some coffee shop visits and such. I'd enjoy shaking your hand, minimum, if you're available. The client is one of the bigger family sign companies in SLC, and they will owe me some favors..........so maybe I can trade a cappuccino for signage!!? :-) You can email me direct with contact info, etc. alsterling@earthlink.net

Hi Ben, Welcome to bX! If there is ever anything we can help with - let me know!
