Coffee Shop Builder · Café Consultant
20 years behind the bar. Built from concept to launch, dial to menu. If you're opening a café, fixing your espresso, or training your team — this is where you start.
About
I'm TheFeistyBrewnette — café owner, consultant, and barista with 20 years of real-world coffee experience. Not lab experience. Bar experience.
I've been through the busy mornings, the wasted shots, the inconsistent grinders, and the customers who couldn't wait. I've built cafés from concept to launch, trained teams from scratch, and dialed espresso under every kind of pressure.
What I offer isn't theory. It's a system built from doing the work — every single day, for two decades.
Whether you're opening your first location, fixing an espresso program that's falling apart, or training a team that needs consistency — I can help you get there faster, with fewer costly mistakes.
"Dial with intention.
Adjust with purpose.
If you can taste it,
you can fix it."
