Building of a culture – sip…sip!

October 23, 2009 by Amy

If you guys remember, when Tazza D’Oro celebrated our 10th anniversary in June, I talked about building for the next 10 years…and it’s happening, big time.  Our space at the Gates and Hillman Centers is STUNNING !  I have attached more pics but they really don’t translate the energy and the potential of the space you just need to visit.

And now I want you to meet Jay and Nathan.

Jay and Nathan

These guys started and own Full Stop Interactive.  Jay and Nathan will be re-building our web site.  I thought it would be rad to blog about our process and give you a kinda back of the house view.  We’ve blogged about all the hammering and building of our new space, but building the “other” space – our web site – there aren’t  nails and hammers just a lot of brainstorming, vision, strategy and creativity.  We are about to include you in on an interesting process.  I’m recommeding a cup of our Panama Elida Estate – brewed in a press.  It takes an incrediable cup of coffee to build a culture!

Today was another day where the reality continues to set in – Amelia and I hung “Coming Soon” signs throughout various sites on the CMU campus for our pending opening at the Gates and Hillman Centers.  Plumbing inspection- check, electrical inspection – check, equipment delivery – ?, Health department inspection – Oct 26, but need equipment… yikes, coffee and espresso for the CMU Board of Trustees Oct 29th – double yikes!

cmu opening soon

Actually, the build-out of the space is almost complete and it is STUNNING!    Come visit.

Baby Elephants!

October 14, 2009 by Amy

A long walk, a lot of good perspective and today I’m reassuring myself that starting our second location at the Gates and Hillman Centers on the CMU campus is and has been a “process” –  it kinda feels like I’m having a baby elephant and it’s taking about as long too!

Today was the beginning of the counter and cabinet installation and we have a great bunch of skilled craftmen working on our space – plumbers, electricians, carpenters etc.    Thanks, guys…tomorrow coffee and donuts for YOU!

cmu counter install

Yep, it will be amazing and beautiful and we’ll call it Tazza D’Oro!
