How do you make a food business feel exactly the way you want it to? We chat to new business owner Emma Sheahan about Lumen People, her North Melbourne cafe and wine bar. Built on values and ethics, Lumen People aims to unpick brunch stereotypes, gently educate customers on the true cost of coffee, and create a community that connects farmers and seasons with inner-city eaters. Thinking about opening an indie business? You need this chat.
