Zoning, who needs it? You do!

I honestly did not think about things such as permits and was surprised that something like a coffee shop would need that. This book really covers everything from equipment to operating expenses and needs. This author makes sure you are well prepared to start this venture. Read this book and you'll be well prepared.

Coffee history anybody?

I was fully prepared to get an entrepreneurs cold business like take on this subject. However the author literally starts at the origin of coffee and brings it all the way to the end while keeping the reader/ listener engaged the entire time.

Fantastic Book for Drive to Work

I listened to this book during my car ride to work the past week, and I absolutely loved it. The narrator does a great job of drawing the listener in. I also enjoyed learning how to make a coffee bean business and hearing from the experts. This is something that has helped me to consider a career change!

Coffee Lovers Dream

When I first started listening, I was not sure what to expect. What I found was a riveting book that outlines the coffee business. While I am not looking to start my own business right now, this is something I would definitely consider in retirement and definitely recommend giving a listen.

Not suited for audiobook format

Not an engaging book. Useful facts and data buried in dull and bullet point like narration. This is probably a nice resource guide for beginners, bit no idea how large the book is in real life, and whether vendor/supplier references provided are not already out of date.

coffee coffee coffee

Do I love coffee? Yes! Do I know enough to run my own coffee shop? NO! Well not until now, this author answered every question I had and explained things in a way I could easily unerstand. There was nothing left to the imagination and I was able to write down everything I now know I need. This is the book you need to open and operate your own coffee business.

Grab a cup of coffee and a notebook

As soon as I started and the narrator was describing coffee I had to pause and go grab a cup. Then she started with extremely important informaiton and I had to start writing things done. This is a very helpful guide to starting a business of this type.

Great read for anyone starting a business

This book is packed full of information. I’m sure I’ll have to listen again to retain some of it. I’m so thankful for this book so I can understand what I should be thinking about before opening my dream café.

A Great Listen

I found myself drawn in by this book. As a self-proclaimed coffee lover, I have always dreamed of owning my own coffee shop. This book has helped me realize that this dream is closer than I realize. It has great info on how to own your own coffee roasting company or shop, and I highly recommend it.

Great Book Great Narrator

This narrator has a very even voice that is soothing and keeps you focused on the topics. Her voice is not high-pitched like some narrators. This book explores most of the equipment you will need and even the brands and models of grinders you can use.
