proud of that we created. And our brand is really strong,
so you definitely come in for an experience and you

come up with names, recipes, that sort of thing for
the drinks.

the dieasonal menu theme will be and we get started.
We decide what flavor profiles, what films should inspire the menu,
(02:40):
and we get to work and it's really it's really exciting.
It's a really fun process. This season, it's our winter season,
so we have the Naughty List and it's based off
of classic Christmas films and their villains.

to get the vibe.

The entire exterior of your.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Coffee shop is painted, as you know, highlighting the art
you were referring to. It is a very cool, very
cool feeling that you get there. And then also I'm
looking at I don't know what you call it, but
whatever you do to the top of the coffee, like
sometimes it's a hard home art, you.
Speaker 2 (03:20):

come in until you to stop using their character?
Speaker 4 (03:55):

get those from?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, we have a local bakery that we get our
everyday pastries from, like croissants and muffins, some savory pastries.
And then we also work with another small business called
Deadly Sweet, and they have horror theme treats, so they'll
have cakes, they have crunch bars like fun like they're
like KitKat type treats, and then they also have cookies
(04:40):
that are also horror themes.
Speaker 1 (04:41):

thing to bring over to like a Christmas party or
something right, like something that's different out of the box,
like a bunch of pastries or fun treats.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And stuff to bring to Christmas.

I didn't. I I'm really into film. I did acting
for a very short period of time. I went to
school for political science, so I just learned along the
way really and then in the beginning I had a
mentor that helped me get started. But ever since from there,
I figured the best experience is just going in there
(05:30):
and doing it yourself. And I learned a lot and
it was it was difficult obviously that I you know,
there's a lot of growing pains, but that was the
best way to learn for me.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
How long did that political science major last? I did too.
I went in as a police science major. It lasted
probably about two weeks.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yeah, it's it's collecting dust in my drawer, my diploma.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay, so you've what you did the whole program? You
you graduated with that? Yow.

Yeah, that's so that's cool. I love it when people
pivot like that. Yeah, that up in the restaurant, your diploma,
that would be that would be good.
Speaker 3 (06:06):

something like that.
