In today's episode, I spoke with Terry Edwards, co-owner of Patsy's Coffeeshop on Negril's West End. Patsy's Coffeeshop is located on the West End's rocky shoreline, almost in the sea, with a spectacular view of the entire Negril 7 Mile Beach, which I was able to enjoy during this interview.

Terry and I discussed a variety of topics, including why he and his business partner opened Patsy's, the various items they offer, such as ganja-infused ice cream and freshly made waffle cones, what makes their coffee exceptional, how the pandemic has affected business and future plans for the coffee shop.

We had a post-interview chat about Negril, his biggest fears and challenges as a business owner, the business community cohesiveness, not having Jet skies anymore, and some of the needed infrastructural development.

This podcast was recorded on the seaside deck of Patsy's Coffee Shop. As a result, if you hear the waves crashing, the sea breeze, people talking, or vehicles, it's because we were in an active environment. Despite this, I hope you enjoy my interview with Terry.
