One of the fun challenges is to offer a wide variety of coffee to accommodate your tastes and interests. Coffee is one of those subjects where there are strong opinions about what is “good.” Some prefer dark roast, while others only drink light roast.

In the midst of a frustrating past week dealing with a stolen and now recovered van, there has been a huge bright spot … YOU! Sure, the van thing was annoying, but it’s not the end of the world.

Taking over Loam Coffee on paper was easy. Reconnecting with many of you has been meaningful and a lot of fun. Even putting in the work on Instagram is already moving things forward and back on an upward trajectory. There is all the tedious admin work that’s been taking a while to sort through and create systems. Oh, but then there’s coffee.
