In the first episode of our Baddie Besties On the Road series, we’re live from VESTER café with founder Nicole Liu—whose minimalist-but-vibey café has become one of the most recognizable spots in Boston.

Nicole opens up about building VESTER from the ground up, navigating entrepreneurship in a city that’s not always built for creative founders of color, and what it takes to turn a personal vision into a public community. We get into everything from branding and burnout to menu design, customer connection, and staying grounded when your face is the brand.

If you’ve ever dreamed of launching a space of your own—or just want the real story behind the vibe—this episode is your blueprint.
