Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

We are a small shop, using a local micro roaster, looking at roasting our own blends in the near future. We are mainly food focussed, but are trying to encourage our clientele to expand their perception of us and to take advantage of my years of experience in European cafes working with and training under a 3rd place finisher in Germany's barista competition.
