How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
What at first was a passtime, later became an obsession, and now is a passion. All of our coffee products are roasted on-premises and everything is inspected before shipping to the customer.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
