☕️ In this Perspective piece, a young coffee shop

☕️ In this Perspective piece, a young coffee shop owner describes the challenges of running a business, and the joys of creating connection with customers and the community through coffee.

“My love for this work comes more from my love for people than beverages. In college, I was a Resident Assistant and I was an intern running a young adults group. I’ve been developing my people management skills over many years. I realized that working at a café is a perfect fit for my personality: I’m a people person. I get to talk to customers all day and make coffee. If I’m having a bad day, talking to one of our regulars can really lift me up. It’s very much a community here.”

🫖 Tea in the United States may not be quite the star that it is in many other countries such as China, England and India, but is still a delightful sip for any time of day.

Add to that cuppa tea a miniature sandwich plus any of the seemingly endless tea accessories and teatime truly feels like a ceremonious occasion.

Here, we topple the traditional towers of sweets and cucumber tea sandwiches in favor of complex, modern flavors that pair nicely with vibrant tea blends crafted by Spice of Life (@spiceoflifepr) in Paso Robles.

➡️ PRESENTATION TIPS
• Use tiered stands for scones and tartlets along with a touch of greenery like herbs to enhance visual appeal.
• Serve teas in decorative teapots with a variety of colorful teacups.
• Use small floral arrangements or fruits, like berries, to adorn tablescape.
• Have fun with it and be playful!

Let us know which recipe you try at home and share this with a friend!

If these walls could talk… “From inside the histor

If these walls could talk… “From inside the historic whitewashed brick building that holds up the corner of a timeless city block in Pismo Beach, Pismo Fish & Chips has been producing classic beach fare since 1963. Surrounded by original décor, the red vinyl booths serve as a time machine for those who want a taste of history.

One could imagine what this block of Cypress Street looked like more than 60 years ago, when Pismo Fish & Chips first opened its doors. In the 1950s, this building previously operated as a laundromat in a growing town that was then home to about one thousand residents. Back then, the streets bustled with rumbling sedans and neon ballroom signs attracting movie stars and locals along with families seeking a new life in America.“

@pismofishandchips has always been a family affair. Starting with the Zechners who originally immigrated from Holland in 1959. The restaurant opened in 1963 and only changed hands in 2014 when Karishma and Arpan Smith took ownership. the Smiths decided to use the restaurant’s origin story as their compass moving forward. Stoic portraits, a cuckoo clock and a mural of windmills and grassy fields are all original fixtures that remain. In maintaining the original style, they also preserved the recipes and stories.
