Our Baristas Mission
care.
We hand-pick our baristas for their skill, passion and above all, their willingness to continually fine tune their craft. We believe that, in a truly accomplished barista, skill must go hand-in-hand with knowledge. The ability to make a good Cappuccino alone is inadequate if not informed by an awareness of all aspects of the coffee making processes; the long journey a bean take from crop to cup. Our baristas are regularly trained with this in mind.
