Ryan Hall is one of the owners of Due South Coffee Roasters in Greenville, SC. He started his career as a barista and quickly filtered into roasting and now running the shop. One of his favorite parts of coffee is hosting the customers as if welcoming them into his home. As he puts it, if coffee were a human, "I don't think it wants to be unapproachable." So, his goal is to treat anyone and everyone to a good cup of coffee.

Shannon Vincelette is the owner of The Nook Coffee House in East Greenwich, RI. She began her coffee journey as a student in college studying at coffee shops. She started to write down everything she enjoyed when she went into a new shop and asked questions of coffee shop owners. Shannon knew she wanted to own a coffee shop ever since she made business plans in high school and college for a shop. Alongside the thrill of going into new coffee shops, Shannon liked the people side of the business. Truly, people are what keep her coming back day after day to open her shop doors.

Jonathan Cunningham is the owner of Round Table Coffee in Pittsburgh, PA. Jonathan started his coffee addiction in college as he drank coffee and studied. He soon grew into roasting coffee at home. His dream to open a coffee shop finally happened in the fall of 2021 when Round Table Coffee opened its doors. The distance he felt in his corporate career was shortened between the product (coffee) and the customers - and he couldn't be more content. He overflows with thankfulness for his wife and staff for their efforts in building this business with him.

Augusto Carneiro is the owner of Nossa Familia Coffee in Portland, OR. Augusto likes to say his coffee shop journey started backward because he grew up with his family growing coffee in Brazil (since the 1890s), he started selling coffee, and then he opened his first shop. He started Nossa Familia Coffee with a $400 investment in August 2004. A piece of wisdom he heard and still finds true today is: “It always takes longer than you think and always costs way more than you think.” He used this wisdom to expand into three locations and a roastery. They even started a zero waste cafe and have a fully electric delivery fleet. 

Augusto is offering a special discount to you, my listeners, to try their coffee. Use the promo code BARISTATALK to get 25% off your online order at nossacoffee.com.

Dexter Dutton is the head roaster and co-owner and Nicole Dutton is a co-owner at Thunder Coffee in West Fargo, ND. Dexter began his coffee story with a french press on a rainy day in a Seattle coffee shop. He shared his newly found passion for coffee with his brother Skyler and sister-in-law Nicole. Nicole decided to follow in the footsteps of her entrepreneurial family and open a coffee business with Skyler. They invited Dexter along for the journey as they started Thunder Coffee in 2017. Two years later they opened their storefront and in 2020 started roasting their own beans. Now they're looking to open a second shop location in November. They have a Thunder birthday bash in October to celebrate five years of business. So, if you're in the area, go drop in and try their coffee or order beans online!

Daniel Mueller is a barista and de facto trainer at Ultra Coffeebar in Asheville, NC. He began his specialty coffee journey with a french press from a shop in Seattle. He was hooked immediately and as he put it the coffee “blew his socks off.” He kept coming back for more coffee experiences and found coffee has the ability to change the path of someone’s life, including his own. If you visit their shop, try the Rick James drink (espresso, Mexican coke and vanilla bean syrup).

Thanks to Ryan Hall from Due South Coffee for recommending Ultra Coffebar for this episode! Tune in for his interview as he represents South Carolina coffee in episode 52 (40th state of this series).

Yami Correa is the CEO and co-owner with her sister of The SisterYard in Miami, FL, and Brooklyn and New York, NY. Yami has a background in culinary and her sister in nutrition. They combined their two passions to create their unique and healthy recipe of coconut cold brew. Their experience of growing up in Venezuela informs the way they approach their business and how they include a slower, more nutritious approach to coffee. Running the business together is teaching Yami to be humble and as she says, “It’s made us grow so much as sisters and business owners.” They are looking forward to opening a storefront very soon.

Thanks to Devoción Coffee for recommending The SisterYard to represent New York coffee!
