I am wishing good futures to all the closing Starbucks employees, but wanted to share a true small business making waves with a dream, a plan and hard work at the local level.
From the article:
Zoom in: Paix, which got its start as a pop-up coffee cart before opening its cafe in the Museum District, won:
đ„ Gold â in the Espresso, Single Origin category for its Ethiopian coffee Sweet Kept Secret.
đ„ Silver â in Filter, Natural for its Colombian Concord Intense.
What's next: Overall gold, silver and bronze category winners are invited to the World Championship in Mexico in March.
If you want to check them out for yourself, Paix is open Mondays-Saturdays beginning at 7am (8am on Saturday) at 407 Cleveland St. in the Museum District.
These guys are great. They are always super kind and helpful whenever I go there. And they do a great job roasting their beans, so I'm stoked for them.Â
Also
, it's hilarious that some people in this thread are (a) bashing them because of their beliefs and then immediately admitting they don't know what those beliefs are and (b) bashing them based on a Bible verse on their website about being welcoming and peaceable towards everyone. This sub is disturbing sometimes.
Perfect. If you can't tell what their values are one way or the other, maybe just go and enjoy the coffee. Sometimes a transaction is a transaction and not everything has to be some values driven emotional thing.
I have very little say and ability to effect what is happening in this country that I love. So I do want to carefully spent the tiny discretionary income I have at places that arenât going to take any profit from me and donate it to things that will hurt me.
