We’ve launched! Friday 30th September was our tasting day! The Pro did make it into the shop on Thursday evening after all. Installation was a fairly painless affair with the steely Dawson at the helm. Taste testing began right away much to the delight of all in close enough proximity to smell the glorious coffee filled air. We fiddled around with the milk trying to find just the right one to best complement our espresso house blend; and our taste testers were more than happy to sample and offer opinions.
Special thanks to all our friends and family who came out on Friday evening to the official coffee tasting and ‘soft launch’ of Perfect Cup Espresso Bar. We spent a very busy but exciting and entertaining evening serving coffee drinks and chatting with everyone. We were actually too busy to even take pictures! Thankfully, our friends at YTP snapped a few pics for us!
I must admit it was quite surreal standing there on Friday looking around at all we had accomplished. Our coffee shop is finally a reality. Thanks to everyone who offered encouragement, support and help over the last year. We greatly appreciate it :o)
We still haven’t decided on a definite opening date. It should, however, be sometime next week. We’ve got to wait for our next shipment of coffee to land and we are still waiting for our signage!!!! Once we’ve got those two biggies out of the way there’ll be no holding us back. In the meanwhile, Father Dearest continues to familiarise himself with the DC Pro and our friends continue to drop by to sample the coffee. I’ve gone back to the world of work, where I try not to spend all day thinking about Coffee Bean or my cosy little shop and all the yummy coffee that lives there. Speaking of which, can someone deliver me a latte… please?????
