I haven't always loved coffee. In fact, I didn't even start drinking it until I was in college. I grew to love the structure and routine that it added to my morning every day - it gave me the opportunity to slow down for just a moment and really take in the beauty of the start to a new day.

​

Fast forward to the two and a half years I spent out in Colorado working as a barista in a small mountain town - this is where I discovered my true love for coffee. Not just because caffeine is amazing, but also because the people I met and stories I heard were truly priceless. It was during these years at this coffee shop that I discovered that meeting new people, listening to their stories and possibly even bein the best part of their day was something I wanted to be a part of for the rest of my life.

As I contemplated what to name my coffee business, it only made sense to name it after my grandmother. Not only did she pass down rich Italian traditions, but she also was always a role model of being the most hospital and welcoming person ever. The warm hospitality my grandmother always displayed is exactly what I want to capture on my truck through coffee - always family, never a stranger!
