Thank You

I just wanted to put a quick thanks to everyone that voted for us in the "Best of the Upstate" competition. With your help we won best coffee shop in Greenville. I know we are a small shop and we don't do everything as well as we might but it's gratifying to think there are a few people out there that care about what we're doing.

We have such a good crew up people supporting us, especially the baristas. Younghwa, Alex, Charlotte, Josh and Tigest all deserve some serious kudos for all the great work they've done over the last year. They are responsible for that last 30 seconds before the drink gets into the customer's hand - where everything culminates in a final product. It's not a stretch to say that the above-mentioned people are the best in the city and I'm really proud of them.

Our coffee has alway been a big deal and I think Counter Culture Coffee deserves a mention here. They've given us great espresso and coffee from day one and if we haven't always pulled it right it was never their fault. Their Espresso Toscano is one of the tastiest and most forgiving blends out there and their people - people like Dave LaMont - are some of the best in the business.

Lastly everyone out there that has helped shape and support this shop through so much deserves a mighty bow. I'm so grateful. My wife told me I'm not allowed to mention anyone by name because I would invariably miss someone but there are hundreds of you and you know who you are anyway. Without your patronage and advice and patience and dragging new customers through the doors we'd have been sunk months ago.

Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
