From Idea to Reality: How Nicole Dicello Started Bedlam Book Cafe


Listen Later

On this week's episode, we welcome Nicole Dicello Owner & Founder of Bedlam Book Café at Crompton Place in the Canal District of Worcester. Bedlam is one of Veronica’s & my favorite places to visit in the Canal District. It has a curated selection of used books, and a small selection of new books, from the academic to the esoteric. You'll also find a cafe that offers organic smoothies (made with local ingredients when possible), loose-leaf teas, chai, matcha, and specialty French Press coffee. Bedlam is different, a gem, and I am extremely honored to have Nicole here with us to share her story and to tell us more about Why Bedlam was a turning point and life-changing event for her.
