Hi, all.
Just reopened the cafe. My hubby had a series of heart attacks and had open heart surgery. I had to close for two weeks, but we are up and running again and I'm glad to say our business hasn't seemed to suffer for the time away.... except for the loss of receipts.

I received a lovely box of samples upon my return! What a nice welcome back! I'm looking over all the goodies and getting an order ready. Thanks !!!!! Thanks!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!

Interested in any ideas to spice up my cafe..... I've got great coffee and water.... great atmosphere... Need tips on specialty drinks, and refining my techniques as well as things like food, pricing, specials, etc. I'm so new I'm still wearing my price tag. Just opened a month ago.
