Breton the intern:

So far, everyone has been keeping me very busy. I visited last Saturday’s market and prepared for, set up, worked, closed up and cleaned for the Wednesday evening market. Luckily Young was there to explain everything and Katie helped out a lot too. Working at the market reminded me a lot of working at my local bakery. The most important part is satisfying the customers, being friendly and helpful. We serve sweet and regular cold brew coffee (toddy®), hot drip coffee, and unique to Wednesday, pour over coffee. Which means we’re boiling water and letting it drip through the filter just before your eyes. It’s a pretty fun and social time. I’m aware of how the phrase “everyone knows everyone” is fairly accurate. We ate great pizza, could sip green smoothies and were given a bunch of beautiful flowers at the end.

Working at the market I’ve realized a couple different things:

1. I need to know all the coffees well (where they’re from, what they taste like which is the darkest brew and most popular… etc),
2. it is possible to fit everything for the market (and then some) in the Element,
3. and no, we don’t serve triple shot caramel lattes.
