We've been talking about coffee. Yes, yeah, it doesn't just

And with a quick trip cup.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I know, before we get to the show, we need
to be able to say hello to somebody very special today.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Erin Yeah, I got a really really special request. I'm
supposed to say hi. Shelby doing good Shelby.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
She's so cute.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Shelby is my favorite granddaughter.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
She's I know she is. You talk about her all
the way.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
My favorite grandchild, just completely.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I like all six of mine the same.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Even Sam will say sometimes I think you like your
granddaughter better than your own children.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely for sure. And I think my daughter
says the same thing to me. In fact, watching my
grandson play football they got to level four, I'd be yelling, hey,
good job, Logan, and my daughter's like, don't you just
you gotta yell team go Blue.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
You don't want everybody know you're just watching. That's the
only grandson I've got out there.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yes, I am going to say, go Logan. So my
daughter thinks the same as as you do. Hey, Aaron,
let's let's start with you if we can. The job
that you guys did, and we've talked about this the
last year and a half, the the coffee roasters, Idle
Coffee Roasters in Wahwatosa, that company, the job that you

(02:59):
guys did, and you were the kind of the lead
on that thing.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It looks unbelievable, by the way.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Oh glad to hear that.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, And they're up and running high. Have you had
the coffee?

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yes, one of our guys happened to drive past it
and said it was open. So I swung in just
to see because we never get to see the final product.
I walked in, got a really nice coffee. Now I
end up going there about once a week.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Now that a boy. If you tried the food there.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
I have not yet, just strictly coffee.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
You know what, next time, try the food. So when
you come back in you can rave about that. You're
going have to try a few things. I would think.
We're joined by by one of the owners. And what
a great story this is. I've done some research on
the story on how this thing happened, and it turns
out that the man that we have in studio, his
wife May, has.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
A coffee shop. The weird part is a two story
coffee Yeah, it's two story coffee shop. And he can
and you got this big roaster thing. You can see it.
You see how the goal process it's not just you know,
it's not going to pick and save and selling some coffee.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
But if you're going to go to pick and save
because it's a good client of ours, yeah, save your
local pick and save and Metro market stores.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
But Peter, how you doing. It's good to meet you.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm doing very good.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Turns out my son Matthew may have worked with your
wife Karen over at Colativo, or used to it was
Alto when he got hired.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
A while ago.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Sure, yeah, the name obviously sounds familiar. And I remember
Cary talking finally of him.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Really, yes, my son Matthew. Yeah, he took after my
wife a little bit.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
He was always you know, he showed up on time,
worked hard, and he enjoyed his time there. And I
told you the story. He went, at fourteen, you got
a job at Centric in our neighborhood. And when he
turned sixteen, he said, I don't want to work at
Center anymore. I said, okay, and I went to Kolativo
or El Tara. I got a cup of coffee and
asked the young girl, Hey, are you guys hiring. She's

(04:55):
like yeah, And I said, I have a son that
i'd like to You know, you have an apple and
she said how old is he?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I said sixteen?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
She goes, well, always wait till they're seventeen. And I said,
well he's been working two years that century already. She goes,
he got a job at fourteen. I go, yeah, she
was bringing that boy to me and I picked him up.
He did not want to go, dropped him off, and
he came out ten minutes later he goes, oh, I'd
like to work there, and I go why. He goes,
you know why, there's you know what, seventeen year old girls,

(05:25):
and he said, man, the atmosphere is great.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
So I wanted to thank your wife first.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Yeah, there's you know, over the years, there's been so
many people I've run into that have worked for her.
She's you know, worked in the industry for a long time.
So it's kind of a small world with the coffee
in Milwaukee, and so there's a lot of people that
have kind of come and gone, and a lot of
people talk fondly of the time.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Peter.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
There are people that enjoy their coffee every day, right,
but there are people that take it to the next level.
And obviously Karen and the four of you have have
taken this to the next level. And reading about you know,
the mission statement between behind Idle and what you guys
believe in, I think is just a recipe for a

(06:08):
really successful company.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Sure, yeah, I mean, coffee is a specialty coffee in
particular is a great industry, you know, focused on sort
of ethical concerns, you know, paying the workers fairly, quality, product,
quality control. It's it's a great industry to be involved in.
We're very thankful to be involved in the industry. But locally,

(06:31):
you know, we're just excited to sort of bring good
quality coffee to the Milwaukee.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Area and a place for people to gather.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Correct, right, it's almost on this home improvement show we
talk about the space in your home that's the gathering point.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
It used to be the kitchen, then it moved to
the living room, and now it's kind of back to
the kitchen. But there's something to be said about that
place where people in the neighborhood can gather and and
and solve the problems of the world or you know,
for you on their own, or do a little work
or you know, talk family whatever that is over a

(07:06):
cup of coffee and maybe a bite to eat. There's
something to be said about that neighborhood location that people
from Wahwatosa and all over, but people from Wahwatosa can
see the same people almost like the Cheers show to me.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Right exactly, I think, you know, over the years Karen
has been managing, you know, coffee shops, and I've always
recognized how important, you know, a good coffee shop is
for the community as a gathering place. And like you said,
you know the business meetings, you know, job interviews, there's
you know, people reconnecting, first dates, things like that. You know,

(07:43):
it's very special for the community, especially when it's well run.
You know, that's important.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
What's the what's the best best seller? And I'm on
your website as we are talking, Peter, pronounce your last
name for me. Son Sonly. Peter Sonley one of the
owners of Idle Coffee Roasters. You can go to Idle
Coffee Roasters dot com. It's I D Y L L
Coffeeroasters dot com. Located sixty three thirty Western North Avenue

(08:10):
on the east side of Wahwatosa. That that neighborhood is vibrant. Yes,
it really is, and it's it's changed a little bit.
And I think that there's there's more stuff going on
on the east side of of Wahwatosa than when when
we've lived off of eighty eighth and Townsend. We're in Milwaukee,
but we were in that neighborhood a lot and now

(08:31):
when I drive through it, there's a lot of cool
restaurants and stuff going on over there.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Sure. Yeah, it's definitely an up and coming area. I mean,
you know, it's always been a great area, but there's yeah,
a lot of new businesses going in and we're excited
because our building was abandoned for you know, ten or
twelve years, so it's kind of a big space. Oh yeah,
it's a big space. And I mean so it's a
big space to fill as well, you know, and it's
a big coffee shop. But that's kind of what we

(08:59):
wanted was a have you know, plenty of space to
get together.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
And we actually, as Creative, we actually had a little
history with that. That actually was our lawyer's office when
we formed Creative. We had a great production we want
to be from my dad's propriety to incorporate it in
eighty six actually actually you know invented uh you know,
that's a lawyer was office back then. And he's like
you said, it's been abandoned for a while. I walked
around with a couple of different contractors. But yeah, but

(09:24):
as to see who it told us like they must
be like hinting the stuccoid or something, because I've been
with a couple of other people they always say they're
going to do something with it.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, there was a couple of failed uh you know,
well I don't failed as a word, but you know,
things come up. COVID came up, so one of the
previous sort of developments kind of fell through. Uh, lucky
for us because then it was available. You know, we
were looking for a building and this one presented itself.
We lived three blocks away, so it's very convenient for us,
and you know, good chance to like get back to

(09:55):
the neighborhood. And again it was a major change to
the neighborhood because it was sort of an iesore there,
abandoned and without any care, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
So how long did it take from the time and
and just so you know, I just got a text
from my son saying she hired me. Hired me, and
I thank Karen for that because you know, with the
last name mcgiver or not, everyone's gonna hire you. Just
so you know, that whole ivers thing. But it didn't Yeah,
that part didn't catch him. So hey, before we get

(10:28):
into the process of having creative construction get involved on
your website, you know there are people can order on
the online.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
What's the biggest seller for you guys?

Speaker 5 (10:40):
Probably our house blend in terms of the coffee.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
H what's the name of it, the idol y okay.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
You know, people come in and I think they appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's uh. What's your favorite?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
My favorite is the Papua New Guinea that's on there
as well. It's just you know, I kind of circle
through the coffee. I like all different kinds of coffee.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
What do you put in your coffee?

Speaker 5 (11:05):
I put nothing in my coffee, just thay of black.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
That's that's my wife. Actually, things like intaminity, everything but
cream and you're wrecking it perfectly.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Nothing against anybody that puts anything that's great. I appreciate that,
but I do I like just black coffee. You know,
that's when you get to taste the differences. It's always
been fascinating to me. You know, different regions you can
get coffee from Ethiopia taste different from coffee that's you
get from Brazil.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Aaron and I will say that, what's Dave?

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Right? Dave?

Speaker 4 (11:35):
While we're working on it, he tossed us up a
bag of each of us a bag of their house Plane.
And there's a huge difference between Idol and like say Folders,
big name brands. I can't. I can't drink the big
name store brands black. But I had some of their
house plain black and it was it was really good,

(11:57):
super smooth, nice.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, you know, they roast her own coffee.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
That's the next step is they don't just go to
Kadahey to get their beans, right right, right, where do
you guys go?

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Well, you know coffee, you know, you get beans through importers.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's a little closer.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
It's obviously a complicated process, you know, bringing the coffee in.
So you know, we go through importers, but we get
the coffee from all over the world, basically coffee kind
of girls near the equator and so you know, Central Africa,
Central America.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, yeah, and they don't just murder it. They actually
go there and examine and make sure it's what they want.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
When when my wife has been a black coffee drinker forever,
and I would before we went to the small you know,
they cure I would go through McDonald's all the time,
once twice, three times a day for her. Yeah, because
she liked a hot black coffee for McDonald's and then
we got those.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
It makes my life a whole lot easier.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
When I would drive somewhere else like a you know,
like a Starbucks or somebody else and and cola TiVo,
I would have to ask for coffee that did not
have Simatra, because I think she is.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
She would immediately get like a Migraine headache from it.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Interesting, and so I would have to say, what's Simatra?

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Simatra is a region they girl coffee, uh, you know,
and it's kind of known. A lot of people know
Sumatra and coffee.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
I didn't know this.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yes I knew. I didn't know what it meant.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
But I'd have to say, hey, could I get a coffee?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
But it can't be so good?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
And I'm going to learn something.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well, you know, it's funny because so what about Cimatra. Well,
I mean, people get particular on where they like the
coffee that they like, where it comes from, you know.
So you know a lot of people like like Ethiopia's
kind of where coffee originated. And there's a lot of
things we could get in too with coffee in terms
of like different ways that the coffee is processed. You know,

(14:05):
basically coffee grows there's a coffee cherry with the two
beans inside of it, and there's all different ways that
the coffee producers have to get the fruit off of
the beans. And so when they do that in parts,
different types of flavors on there. You know, we could
go deep on this, but try to just improvement.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
But we want to improve your coffee. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so I be So I've got a bean. I gotta
make sure it doesn't have sinatra in.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
It coffee and that's okay, right, Well, that's really basic questions.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
On Different regions have different you know ways, they're kind
of known for processing coffee traditionally, but there so, but
and what ends up happening is people sort of like
certain coffee from certain regions. And that's fine. That's why
there's a variety, you know. And so some people U like,
don't like samantra and coffee it has a particular flavor
that doesn't agree with them or whatever, you know, but

(14:58):
some people love it. Uh, you know, we love it.
She we like all different kinds of coffee.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
She just something something in that matra that would would
give her a migraine, but she McDonald.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
But I think that's an important point is you know.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Whenever you left the house, the Migrane went, yeah, maybe
that was it.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
But if there's a coffee that you don't like, you know,
you can always try a different coffee from a different region,
you know what I mean, and there you'll get a
totally different flavor and a totally different And she's.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Been a coffee lover for as long as I've known it, right,
And I told you the story.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
I was not until I was told you better.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
If you're gonna, if you want something to kick off
your morning, you got to stay away from that little
can that you're getting that quick trip and go to coffee.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
And you know what, the doctor's.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Happy, My wife is happy, and it's worked out right well.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
I mean, coffee is you know as long. I mean,
coffee is very good for you in general. I mean,
and you can load it up with sugar health.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
It a healthy So really, yeah, I see you brought
no baker in this week.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
No errans here. You think his mom would have sent
us something?

Speaker 1 (16:04):
You're hey, you know what, your mom's my favorite. She's
she's a good baker.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
I tried to convince her. So Benga and I go
to a min's group every Wednesday, and last week she
invented do you know what monkey bread is? I do
the pull apart bread? So she and she made monkey
bread that was wasn't sweet, but it had hallopeno cheese
curds in it. Oh my, and there were it's six

(16:31):
seven of us in the new favorite bread. And the
entire thing was gone throughout the day. We hardly learned
anything that mins group because everybody kept getting up to
go get seconds and thirds.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
And when when she she's baked a few things for
this show, and trust me, when when Bengal comes in
with it, I've got to put some aside because once
it gets around, once it gets around, it gets put.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Over on the other side of the studio and I
don't see it.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Suspencer, not let you have any.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Spencer hangs into a few. Yeah, he's he's.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Like yeah, He's like, well, sense on his side of
the glass. We can't have it, can't have it.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Hey, guys.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
If here's what I love on this website, you can
you can order wholesale. It gives you a little information
on who the people are and why they're why they've
started this and they own this company. And for me,
I I love what their promise is. We promised that
everyone who walks into Idol will leave a more confident,

(17:28):
coffee kind of sore while also sharing a pleasant moment
in the process. I got to tell you that that
for me has this small town kind of coffee shop.
When you when you think about some little coffee shop
in a small town where every guy knows more about
the high school football team than that than the next
that's what that brings out to a guy like me.

(17:50):
And whoever reads that, they're they're going to have a
different feeling on what that means for them.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
And I thought, they think that's really well.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
Written, right, And that's you know, it's a good point.
It kind of goes like to the definition of the
word idle typically relates to a picturesque scene or episode,
but you know, more importantly, it's that experience that that
scene or episode invokes, and it's sort of a temporary
reprieve from you know, the daily stresses. So we really
want to present you know, a good, welcoming environment for

(18:18):
people to come into and to kind of, you know,
like I said, get away from the stresses of daily
life and just have a good moment with you know,
their neighbors, have a good cup of coffee and some
good bakery and good sandwich or whatever. But just to
kind of have a nice relaxing place where people can
just get get together with other people and chat and.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Hey, what is your real quick before we get to
a break, what is your You have a full time job, sure,
what is your day to day with with idle? And
is Karen is just full time for Karen?

Speaker 5 (18:51):
So yeah, Karen is the managing partner out of the
four of us. So the company is started by myself,
my sister, Amy Tamborino, my brother in law David Ambrino,
and Karen, my wife, Karen Kurgan.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Talking boy, some pretty the names right there speeding with
the US Olympic team and we're trying some pretty big
name athletes there.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, Milwaukee's always been a big
speed skating so we were a speed skating family growing up.
And uh, that's kind of how we met Dave. He
came from New York, stayed with our family for a
while to stay it at the Pettit Center.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
It's a secret the coffee.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well, you stayed with the family and then got married.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Right, that's right.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yeah, So that's what that started. But yeah, for Karen,
it's a full time job. And Dave he's, you know,
our business operations manager. He does wholesale coffee and business
SSE stuff. So you know myself, I you know, I
built a lot of like the woodwork on the inside.
I used to have a woodworking business, so you know,

(19:53):
I've always been big into woodworking and would I work
for a lumber inspecs and agency full time? So but yeah,
that my role is like on a sort of creative
end and some of the interior work.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
We're going to talk about that part of it on
the other side of the break and how Creative Construction
Wisconsin got involved. We'll talk to Aaron about the project
and how long it was and some of the you know,
the ups and downs because on every project, right and
you guys had a date for a while, and every
once in a while it's like no, no, we're on
We're good, yeah, and you don't see the progress. We'll

(20:28):
talk to erin a little bit about that, guys. When
when if you're looking for a great cup of coffee,
and again, on this website, I love some of the
things that you can read and there's not a lot,
but you can certainly get an idea on the mission
and the heart of this company. And my favorite part
of this is when they say listen, welcome. This is

(20:48):
a welcoming space where people could feel as comfortable as
they do in their own home, so surrounded by our community.
And I think that tells you everything on this what
this company is trying to accomplish.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah, and also you know local business Saturday next. Oh yes,
it's definitely a local business.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yea.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
This isn't a franchise. This is a local business. So
you want to get some gift cards and help support
a local family business. This is awesome.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Thank you, Sam.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Sam made sure that we Yeah, I certainly appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, Sam is awesome with that. By the way, I'm
sure Sam, Sam.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
It's like I'm always thinks I steal our ideas, but
it's true. Yeah, we all steal all of you.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
All of Bingos ideas are Sam's ideas.

The best boss I ever had. And I thought I
would his best buss But I guess not. I guess there.
But man for Matthew to say that, and again he

(23:12):
and look, she's the best boss I ever had. So Karen,
thank you for that. Thanks for not firing the young las.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Kind of embarrassing on the show.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, and I thought I could.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I thought i'd go in and he'd give me a
little break on the coffee over there.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
But he's like, I'm not getting in trouble because of you.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
You pay the whole four bucks for that cup of coffee,
is what he'd say to me. You can look their
stuff up and I would recommend it, buy something online
or just read about the story.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
This.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's a family rooted, rooted, family passion and shared the.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Big coffee shop. It's worth the experience. They go check
it out.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
One hundred percent one hundred percent, and I will make
sure if I was still in the neighborhood, you would
have walked in and said, I've seen you, I've seen you.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
How often do you get there, by.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
The way, Oh all the time? Yea, yeah, pretty much. Well,
so I travel a little bit for work, but anytime
I'm not in town, I'm usually there. I mean there's
what there's like one hundred and sixty eight hours in
a week. So do you guys have kids, Yeah, we
have two kids. They are twenty three and twenty one.
Now the younger one doesn't Oh thanks, Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah,

(24:22):
they're the coffee right, Yeah, yeah, it is coffee. It's
definitely the coffee people there. You go, but yeah, they're
they've graduated from Tos East. You know, we've lived on
for a long time. So it's great to have the
coffee shop right right around the corner, and so it's
easy for us.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
To go to.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Let's talk about the process of getting creative construction of
Wisconsin involved and well, yeah, as you know, we asked
our guests for some talking points and you said, look,
you're interested talking about the character when it comes to
construction and major renovation projects, and you've been kind of
in that industry. What about creative construction wiscons And like

(25:00):
stood out.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, I'll just tell you how I got Well, I
got involved with it right. The architect game in my
office met me at the shop getting brought a bag
of sand in in a plastic bag and says, can
you match just color and do a texture? So I said, okay,
well sax here, let's figure something out and then then
that's just then That's how that was how we get
We first got involved because we had to get sex.

(25:22):
Why was that important because well, we don't. It's really
hard to bid a job if you don't know what
texture and color you're going to do for us. The
second thing is is you have to get past the
city right. And while WITHSA didn't want fake stucko that
you know, the famous eve stuff that's you know, just tiating, right,
do you want a real, real product, conventional stuckgo?

Speaker 1 (25:41):
How excited was the wilewood toasted to have somebody looking
at a building that had been sitting there is an
iore for ten years.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
Uh? Well, we had a great experience, you know, dealing
with the city walto so especially like the you know,
the business development.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
And you cover a little quoy about that.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah, you know, so there was a couple of projects
that kind of fell through, and we were looking for
a building. We were already working with Galbrai's Carnahan, the
architect who just so happens to conveniently be right across
sixty fourth Street from us. They I don't know if
you remember, but they moved the log cabin down the
down the street, put it on sixty fourth Street, and

(26:21):
the bag of sand, I know was a bag of
sand from Bradford Beach. I believe that he brought to
match the color. So kind of special there, you know,
to do that. We had a great experience with Gallberry's,
Carnahan and Nick Andrew, great great guys. So that was
kind of how we got started. But the building itself,

(26:42):
you know, had been sitting for ten years. Like I
said before, it was kind of an eyesore, and we
were concerned about like what could we do because it was,
you know, as a nineteen sixties office building, it wasn't
built architecturally stunning. You know, it was a good you know,
had a good foundation and good sort of structure, but
other than that, there wasn't much to go on.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, I remember that building.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
And when when when Bingo was telling me about this project,
I kept thinking, is that building, right, that doesn't look
like it could be a comfortable coffee shot, right?

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yeah it was. It was a white brick office building.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yes, what it was. And it was a boring looking.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Fairly utilitarian, you know. And and again they're just it's
hard because like I've done a lot of projects, would
working and such in the past. It's always good when
you have something to go on, you know, something to
start you out, architectural feature or something notable, you know,
and this building did not have much, and so there
was just some concern about like how do we create

(27:45):
something special out of this building? And Nick Carnahan had,
you know, brought up the idea of stuck going the
outside of it, and so, you know, at the time,
I hadn't had much experience with stuck. I mean, everybody
knows stuck, you know what I mean. But but you know, right, yeah,
these guys, you know. But the and one thing that

(28:07):
I was telling Bingo I think when we met a
while back, was you know, just having the when when
that stucco was completed, it was such a dramatic change
to the building and you know, actually to the entire neighborhood.
You know, it's it's much more notable now you can see,
you know, you notice it. But I don't know if

(28:28):
it's This is kind of what I thought would be
interesting to talk about, is I don't know if it's
you know, the hand troweled is what sort of gives
it this special character to it. You know, it's there's
a lot of things nowadays in construction that are sort
of imitation, you know, like there's imitation would cement that
looks like wood, things like that, you know, and you

(28:49):
see a lot of it when you're around, and you know,
it doesn't jump out at you as like a character.
You know, it's like character of the building and character.
So I was just super impressed with the work that
they did, and it really just helped to import character
into the building, you know, where I didn't have any

(29:09):
or very little before, you know.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
And so if I can't aran when when you started
the project, and it's a big project and it took
a while to get to get going and get it done,
did you did you see kind of what their vision
was of how it's going to look prior to you
getting it done.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
The owners and the architects were super involved in the job,
and from day one I knew exactly what they were
looking for and they, to their credit, they they asked
me my opinions and their their grand scheme was their idea.
And then I'm I'm here to provide the the little

(29:51):
tiki taki, Like I think, if you do this here,
that's going to look a lot better overall, something that
I do every day that they don't necesscessarily think about.
And you know, just the way to make the code
requirements for stucco flow with the design and all of that.

(30:11):
There's there's ways you can do it where it just
looks awful, but if you tweak it just a little bit,
it stays within compliances and it looks looked great.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Man, when you drive up and you said, look, I
stopped there now about once week, when you drive up
to it, it's got to still be a special like
this is a cool project that you guys did and
a big project, and you've got to be really proud.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Of the way it looks. And to be able to
walk into the building after you got it done.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Oh yeah, when I when I walked in the first time.
Like I, like I said, I never get to see
the projects complete, complete, right, And I was just I
was blown away with the last time I was inside
that building. It was stud walls, stud walls, dust everywhere,
and I walked into completely beautiful surfaces and the front
cow was amazing. And I just found out he's the

(31:02):
one that made made the front counters.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Hey, so, Peter, how much of I understand? And that
to be able to oversee the project, right, Aaron's there,
he's overseeing his team. But there's a lot of not
only the outside but the inside that you guys had
to do. But the outside has to be kind of
that curb appeal, and that part of it, for me personally,

(31:25):
is the most important because once they get done, it's
not like you can say, you know, this doesn't look exactly,
let's redo the whole thing right the inside. If the
couches aren't exactly what you're looking for, you can make that.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Change, right.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yeah. You know, it's funny because yeah, you sort of
put a lot of faith in you commit two ideas,
you know, and you got to commit well in advance
because you know the city's got to approve it. You
got design board. You got a lot of people that
got a way in, you know, so you know, we
had seen some of their work and you know, we
knew they knew what they were doing, so you know,
it was it was it was a good option for us.

(32:00):
The stucco. You know, if you remember that white brick
that was on it. It wasn't like we were going
to get more of it to match it because we
had to take out you know, we had to do
a lot of like heavy construction on the outside. So
and we hired Dolmond Construction and they're you know, well
known sure Milwaukee company, and they did a fantastic job
with everything. Really, so we're we.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Work with domin in the past, and we worked with
them and we just did another project with them since then.
You know, I mean, the guy I do always remembered
this because I was a sudden you remembers, I actually
bought a truck for me when I was eighteen years old. Yeah,
I was a big, straight beed, sixteen foot truck. He
was like, you know, he's like, well, we're throwing us
out us I'll take it, you know. So he said,
give me five hundred bucks, you can have it us.
I'll take it small, Yeah, a.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Small, right, it really is what part of that that journey?
First of all, how long did it take from the
time that you guys signed to buy the building to
you opening the doors to sell a cup of coffee?

Speaker 2 (32:54):
How long did that take?

Speaker 5 (32:55):
Well, uh, you know, it's a good question, and it
took long enough that I kind of forget about how
long it took, you know, because we were we were
looking for a building. We had actually kind of settled
on another building, but it fell through, you know, and
at that point, you're just so excited about starting a
company and it's like, oh boy, what are we gonna do?
You know, we don't have a building now. And so
that's when Nick was like, well, there's this building across

(33:16):
the street from us. It's pretty ugly and big, you know,
but what don't you know we could take a look
at it. So, you know, we took a look at
it and sort of the ideas just started flowing. You know,
it's big, and we realized like we could have the
coffee roasting operation right there, and then there'd be plenty
of space for gathering and such. So you know, it was, uh,
we we had to basically pitch the idea to the

(33:38):
city because we were buying the building from the city,
so we we responded to an RFP that they had
put out years back, and so that was I you know,
I don't even want to I don't know. I mean
that took probably a year of that process, like until
we actually bought the building. I think we actually signed

(33:59):
for the building in April of twenty twenty four, and
construction was basically finishing up this summer. So it was
about a little over a year construction, which I was
actually pretty impressed, but you know, it was a lot
of work. So it was about a year of like
the heavy construction and then sort of you know, several

(34:19):
months of you know, finishing the interior and getting ready to.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Either of your kids going to be involved in this.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
Our daughter Ella is she works for us. Yeah, she's
smarter than I am, and it's helping us out quite
a bit with a lot of different things. And your
other child and my other daughter, Hannah, she lives in Pennsylvania.
She's in town now, which is great.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
So it's it's just holiday.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Yeah, yeah, she's in. We had a funeral, so she's
in for the funeral and you know, but it's great
to have the whole family together.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
You know.

Speaker 5 (34:52):
They kind of like it's we're like empty nesters now.
You know, it's kind of new to us. So you know,
it's kind of funny because we were we were kind
of like, hey, we could save money and reado our
house and all this other stuff as empty nesters and vacation,
or we could choose to like never have another day
off ever. Again, somehow we chose the latter.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Well done. Yeah, yeah, great idea.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
Yeah yeah no.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
But when you said that Ella is involved in that, Yeah,
she's a day to day.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
She works there full time. Yeah, she's like assistant manager there,
so she and she's been She was working in the
coffee industry for years before that too, so she's she
has a lot of a good amount of experience, especially
for age.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Maybe this maybe I should ask you this during the break,
but I'm gonna throw it out there.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
How to call a TiVo take that? Did that?

Speaker 1 (35:45):
They were, Look, it's not really right down the plot,
but it's in the neighbors, you know.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
I Mean, here's the thing about coffee is that there
are I mean, it's the it's the most commonly drank beverage.
You know what I mean, so there's so many coffee
consumers out there, and it's really you know, there could
be a coffee shop on every block, and it's just
really up to you know, the business to like convince

(36:11):
the people to come in, you know what I mean,
because every block there's so many people that drink coffee,
and so I mean, we're not looking at it as
much in terms of like a competition standpoint. I think,
you know, competition just makes everything better, you know, and
so you know, if we push the envelope and make
coffee better, then you know, we're hoping that our competition

(36:31):
sort of does the same. It does. It's good for
the industry, you know what I mean. It's not it's
not about like taking business or anything like that, you
know what I mean. It's just, well, that's one really
good thing, is uh. You know. And over the years,
and maybe you guys remember doing the construction, like they're
you know, sixty fourth Street North out in front of us,
there wasn't many daytime type businesses, so there wasn't much

(36:56):
many people parking on the street. We do have a
small parking lot off sixty fourth Street, but there is
plenty of like street parking during the day. You know,
there's a lot of night life, but in our area
there wasn't quite as much like daytime.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
What is the time of When do you guys open
in the morning? When do you close During the week.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
We're open six am right now, we're open till three.
But next week I'm sorry, we're up until four. But
we're expanding ours to five next week, so we're open six.
We'll be open six to five during the week. We're
open six thirty to five on Saturday and seven to
five on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
So going next Saturday. Get those gift cards, support local businesses.

Speaker 5 (37:34):
Yea. But you know, going back to the construction and
you know, one thing Aaron said is, you know, it's
he gets to show up, you know, and see this
work that he's done. And that's you know, another thing
that I really appreciate is like I've done a lot
of woodworking and build some furniture and you know, you know,
normally you build a piece of furniture for somebody and

(37:55):
then you never see it again. You know, it's gone forever.
You'll see what it ends up, right, and you know
a lot of times like with those projects, like you
I don't know if you have things going on in
your life and they actually mean quite a bit to you,
and you finish these projects and then they're gone forever.
But this is wonderful because you know, I've built a
lot of stuff there, and I can go by and
see it. It's part you know, the neighborhood can experience it,

(38:16):
and I can experience it, you know. So it's it's
special to be able to like retain it, you know,
and not have to just never see it again. So
it's very.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Nice, Aaron, and I love that when when you said, look,
I don't get the chance to really experience some of
the projects.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
We do.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
We get it done and then we move on with
the fact that now you can continue to see it.
Are you Are you always looking to make sure that
that everything is still the way you guys want it?

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (38:42):
Yeah, every time I drive past it, I look, I
look at it like that is that good? And he
was talking about the character of stucco. First of all,
character in stucco takes a lot of work. And to
add to that, pretty much every job I do, I
leave it. We have a little easter egg in it somewhere.
So if you ever, when you get your cup of

(39:03):
coffee there and just walk around the building, try to
find a smile your face in it.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
And now he's gonna look for you to make it.
Come and fix it.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
You're gonna have to.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
Yeah, we'll have to take a look around.

Speaker 6 (39:17):
You know.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
It's actually a good uh yeah, get people to actually
take a closer look, you know, because but no, it is.
It's awesome. We we were very happy.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
You know.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
There was the only other sort of like architectural feature
of the building was on the outside there were like
these fluted columns. I don't know if you remember that.
Uh So I took those, you know, uh, tol them
and kind of took them off carefully for us, and
I refinished those and use those kind of on the
facade of the counter and on a bench seat in

(39:48):
the in the building there, And you know, it was
just it was a little nugget of something to kind
of go on on the inside, just to kind of
get us started, you know, because it's always nice to
just have something to get you going, because if you
just have a blank piece of paper, it's hard to
do a design on that, you know what I mean.
So it's always nice to have like something to go on.
So that was about the only other architectural feature that

(40:10):
we thought was worth keeping.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Sixty three thirty West North Avenue. Sixty three thirty West
North Avenue go on their website, it's Idle Coffeeroasters dot com.
It's I d y Lllcoffeeroasters dot com and on their
website whatever again, whoever wrote these for a guy like me?

Speaker 2 (40:31):
It goes right to your heartstring a little bit, and
I thank them for that.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Idle takes on the combined personality of not only its owners,
but the TOASA community at large. Simply put, we are
neighbors invested in our community's success. If that doesn't make
if you live a Toasta, if you're not going to
head over there and at least try it, I'd be shocked.
Simply put, we are neighbors invested in our community's success.

(40:58):
And I love that. It's neighbors giving back to neighbors
for sure. Hey, the space, talk.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
About even the name, the name is right that the
name means like relaxing.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
Yeah, I mean it's a picturesque senior episode.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
You know, any chance where you start doing events over there.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
I mean we have all kinds of plan you know,
we have all kinds of ideas and things that we
want to do with the building. And you know, a
lot of it is you know, welcoming the neighborhood and
uh sort of taking direction from the neighborhood. You know,
events that people want to have. You know, we plan
to do you know, makers markets down the road, things

(41:34):
like that. We have a lot of space so we
can clear out some of that furniture and you know,
you do it.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
We can do a show there.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
We could do a show there, you know.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
The down on Farwell or on Prospect. On Prospect, you
still have this h you used to have little concerts. Sure,
and depending on the space, there's you know the kind
of the folks, he kind of there's enough talent in.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
That tail.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
That's a nice thing too, is you know, we got
a lot of wall space, so we're you know, we're
welcoming artists come in, local artists and such to display art.
So if you come in, we currently have you know,
quite a bit of art from local artists, but we
got a lot more space, so we're looking for you know,
more artists to come in. We'd love to get some
like sculpture artists, you know, things people that want to
display and we uh you know, offer the art on consignment.

(42:20):
So it's a chance for artists to make some money
and chance for us to put some really cool local
art on the walls.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
We do like karaoke night.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
You know, I don't know about that big.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
Surprise to talk to car talk.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
I was still never sing in public, so maybe I'll
just be the background to these guys. Guys, let's get
to a break. Other side of the break, we'll continue.
This has been really interesting to me, and the whole
process of how Creative Construction Wisconsin got involved with Idle
Coffee Roasters is really good and and the fact that
they were able to match that they only did they
said they needed it the next day, right the.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Same Oh yeah, we didn't. Yeah, we know a lot
of time. You know, it was you know, it was
the last minute.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
He's, well, I got a plan review tomorrow and they
want to sample, so when you need it, he goes,
like I said I needed tomorrow. We had to make it.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
So we took we took the color sample to the
city wet stiff like it was a terrifying drive because
it wasn't a bit of a truck kind of hoping
the air blowing over would dry it a little bit.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
But they approved it. They approved it.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
We've had nothing but good comments on the you know,
the building itself, with the stucco, you know, everything, it
just all goes into it.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
You actually clean the neighborhood up that soul, not just
a stucco, just the whole design everything. Just change that
ice or into something nice. And you know, you know
when people walk by, the neighbors walk bright with their
dogs and stuff like, oh thank god, Yeah, I'm so
happy that we did something.

Speaker 5 (43:45):
Sure, we've had a lot of people thanking us for
the project and just you know, the big change that
it's made to the neighborhood and it's really just accentuating,
you know, a great neighborhood already.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
So you were going to get to a break out.
Other side of the break will continue our conversation. Idle
Coffee Roasters go to Idlecoffeeroasters dot com. Better Yet, stop
over sixty three thirty West North Avenue and next Saturday,
Small Business Day, you pick up a couple of gift cards,
give them to your employees and have them get involved
and feel the difference. Their promise that anyone who walks

(44:19):
into Idle will leave a more confident coffee kinnoisseur while
also sharing a pleasant moment in the process that makes
me want to go over there and just sit and
have a cup of coffee. And just if you're a
people watcher, you know what, watch the people walking in
and watch how they're utilizing this space, and I just
really think it's great for the East side of Wahwatosa.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
They might get her into building.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, you know, looking at me shaking her head. Absolutely
not the whole show. And this has been really interesting
to me. We've been talking about a new company that's
opened the doors.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
When did you think you opened by?

Speaker 5 (45:40):
We opened last month in October, Reckon at the thirteenth,
I believe, Okay, soft opening, soft opening. Yeah, we've been
doing a soft opening. We're expanding our hours this month.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
So yep in the opening has been smoothough.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Yeah, relatively smooth. But you know, we have a really
good staff, coffee professionals that like people, you know, So
we're very grateful for the staff, and that's what people
are agreed to.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
It's almost like two years from the beginning to the end.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
It was.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
It was it was a while because I was talking
to these guys over a year ago about this stuff.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
There was quickly if I asked you as a junior
at Wawootocis High School, if I said, look, years ago,
years from now, you're gonna be on a show talking
about coffee and and the process and and how this
thing happens, what would you say.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
I would have been like, Oh, that's cool. I did
something with my life.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
There you go, there you go.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
In fact, then I don't know what my priorities were,
you know. Yeah, so no, it's uh yeah, I would
have been surprised because it's like, uh that you know,
I wasn't into construction or woodworking and such back then.
I mean I was. I enjoyed it wood class and
all that, you know, And it's kind of something that
Aaron and I were talking about a bit, but you know,
it wasn't something that people pointed at me and said,

(46:49):
this is what you could do in life. Uh you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
So it's speaking of caring your wife real quick, and
and and and your sister and her husband. There are
a lot of people that work in it at coffee shops,
a lot of people that love coffee, but to take
it to the next step and have the passion to
be able to share the passion and what you guys
believe with the community that that's a whole different level

(47:14):
of passion to it is something it is.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
And I mean the nice thing is coffee is just
such a universal thing. So it brings a lot of
people together and you know, all different kinds of people
to kind of share in you know, the passion of coffee.
But then there's so many other things that we can
work in while we're doing that. You know.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
You know, when I was coaching basketball Whitefish Bade Dominican
a long long time ago, I had a young guy
named Mariano Luna on my team and his family was
straight from Italy and it's dad. I went to to
go over and talk to his dad for something and
he said, do you want coffee?

Speaker 2 (47:47):
In this thick accent? And it was a real little
it is that's not I'll have another. I was up
for two days? What was that?

Speaker 5 (47:58):
Right?

Speaker 1 (47:58):
And yeah, I just kind of like the get a
little you know, feel a little bit better and caffee
not that Yeah, two days of like holy what was
that right?

Speaker 5 (48:09):
Yeah? What was in that coffee?

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah? Stronger than anything I've ever had before.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
Well, you know, you hit yourself with a ton of
caffeine all at once. You know. I'm sort of like you.
I prefer sort of the slow drink. Yeah, and uh,
you know, save of the flavor and it makes it.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Hey, your your favorite menu.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
Item, my favorite menu item?

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Yeah, go grab something neat there? What do you have?

Speaker 5 (48:33):
We? Uh, well, we partner with the Sugar Studio in
West allis their new bakery and they make wonderful bakery.
So probably my favorite bakery, like menu item there would
be this bacon croissant that they make. It's absolutely wonderful.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Yeah, man, bacon.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
If we bring in again next week, can you bring something? Yeah, yeah,
I remember.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
It's it's a small small business. Yeah, and I know
through Sam and and Bingo and Aaron. Look, we're recommending
head over there and get a couple of gift cards
to the people in your family, the people in the neighborhood,
the people that work for you, so that they can
go into Idle Coffee Roasters and experience what the owners

(49:18):
are trying to get people to understand. Look, this is
a great place to come by yourself and do a
little work, get on your computer, or bring family members,
bring friends, or meet people from the neighborhood, have a
couple of coffee, and again just talk about life.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Right.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
That's right, man. We got plenty of space. We want
people to get together and talk. And you know there's
all different kinds of space.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
College and.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
You can watch roasting being done. That's exciting st Aaron.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
And because the roasters in there, it smells absolutely amazing.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
Get used to that smell, by the way, you know,
every time I walk in the door, I love the smell,
you know what I mean. So I don't know if
you get used to it. But it's good.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Before I drank much coffee, if it's like it.

Speaker 6 (50:02):
Is, or the locker room over at greendowin Luther Roy
Coach for a while, when my wife would would make
coffee or i'd get coffee if I was When I
wasn't drinking coffee, I didn't notice the smell.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Now she gets up earlier than I do and I
can smell. I wake up to that coffee smell.

Speaker 5 (50:20):
Yeah, it's a ritual, you know, it's a it's part
of a ritual that's like you know, you do it
so so consistently throughout your life that you know it
really beckons up good feelings. And you know, they say
aroma is sort of one of the senses that's tied
to memory, you know, so you know it really just
helps to you know, there's nostalgia involved in last question.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
If you got to if you went over to Petit
and you raced your sister right now, who would win?

Speaker 5 (50:47):
Oh boy, I would say she would probably win. I don't.
I don't know. It might be a good race. We
could do that someday, Amy, if you want.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Because yeah, because during the break you say her and
her husband, I think that's what she say that.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Yeah, yeah, I don't remember that. I'm trying to.

Speaker 5 (51:04):
Yeah, as long as Dave isn't racing with us, it
might be a decent race between me and Amy. But
you know, she's speed skated longer than I did. Yeah,
but but no, I think it might be a good one.
I mean, it's a little like riding a bike, and.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
We could we could we could raise some money for
a nonprofit with that race. Hey, guys, thank you, it's
