Hi Marcie<br />
<br />
My church has an espresso bar with a drive thru.<br />
The things God has done for us to get us to this point is amazing! Our espresso house offers fresh roasted coffee and espresso, as well as a breakfast and lunch/catering menu.We also have live music/concerts, as well as a place where people can have bible studies or just cozy up by the fireplace on the internet. And if you are in a hurry we have a drive thru to keep you going!(we are the only church in the state to have one)

Thank you to all of you for your time and interest. I feel so touched that so many are responding to my request for advice. I'm going to begin by passing some of these suggestions and emails/websites to my pastor and another woman who is intricately involved. I/we communicate soon . Lots of blessings to all of you! - Marcie<br />

Jason. We are intending to have amazing coffee, espresso beverages, fabulous panini sandwiches, soups and , of course decadent desserts amongst a few other items. We are aiming to be a "for profit" entity. There is a buzz of excitement in our church and we anticipate great success. We also just opened a dance studio and the response and quality of instructors is outstanding! I am brand new on this site. How do I get your email address?<br />
<br />
Thx - Marcie<br />

Their cafe is set up mare to serve and foster community than to make a profit. Drip coffee is free, they have volunteer baristas and sell espresso based drinks. The goal was to have lattes and mochas ect. offset the cost of coffee service. They have never quite made that happen. I'm sure they would be happy to talk to you about their experiences shoot me an email and I'll get you their contact info.</div>

John; You're hilarious! Seriously, tho, we are really going for it! We have a decent budget and we are doing a lot of research. I will offer your suggestion to our Pastor. He'll have a laugh and who knows, perhaps he'll offer espresso shots during service as a promo!<br />

Especially for the early service. You'll need super-automatic machines.</div>
