Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

it's kind of a three-ring-circus: bakery (from scratch - pastries / scones / cakes), cafe (breakfast - brunch - lunch), and coffee shop. Work with a brother who has been a roaster, some training from the staff at Roastery7 who provide our espresso.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

midwest area primarily...though I may be heading out east (Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York) mid-April.

About Me:

after 20 years of teaching middle-school English, I bought a shop in my neighborhood with the dream of providing the best scones and coffee in Minneapolis - and creating a place that is warm, kind, and welcoming.

About My Company:

I am it.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
