Coffee tasting

We finally set the date for our Roaster tasting event.

It will be on Oct 17th at 10:00 AM.  The coffee shop won't be open for normal business activities, which means we will not serve breakfast nor lunch on this date.  We will have finger food and lots of amazing espresso.  This event is for coffee lover who appreciate exceptional espresso drinks. 

We will taste Herkimer, Caffe Vita, Stumptown and Intelligentsia.  At the end, we will all decide who gets to be our next year's roaster.

So please swing by and enjoy

Where is the Owner?

Many customers have often wonder how come I am not in the coffee shop all the time.
Mi Piace has been a great learning experience for me. At first, I was under the impression that as long as all my employees are well trained. I can focus on other areas in my life. Was I wrong? haha! Many of you probably already knew, I still have another full time job as a buyer. Therefore, I am usually traveling between Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shanghai. I was born in Taiwan, rasied in Taiwan and went to High School in Santa Monica, CA. Later on, I moved to Hong Kong and other countries in Asia for my work. The reason I am here is because I really liked San Juan island. I used to vacation here and I simply fall in love with the island.

Lately, I have been tasting all the famous sandwich shops in Seattle and looking for different suppliers for cheese and meat. We are working on the new menu with all the exciting recipes I have gathered together. We are pushing the new menu by Oct 1st and we will also have Debbie from the Duck Soup to help us. There will be New Menu parties and music nights going on this fall and I will post all of them on my blog.

Quiche

Many people love our quiches at the Farmer's Market and have asked us to prepare more during the week when there is no farmer's market. So we now freeze the quiches for customers who would like to buy whole quiches. Please ask the baristas if you like to buy them. They are only $18.00 for a whole quiche.

Compost - coffee grounds anyone?

At Mi Piace we have a bucket for all the coffee grounds and I have been using it for my garden.
You can either spread the coffee ground around the garden to prevent bugs or you can use it as compost and worms LOVE coffee ground. I think worms get caffeine high also.
My compost had reached its limit and I really hate to see all the coffee ground not being used.

Please contact the shop 360-378-6477 if you are interested.

Coffee Fest in Seattle

The coffee fest this year happens to be in Seattle again around Sep 12-14th
Anyone who is interested of going can contact me at Mi Piace and maybe we can all car-pool

For me the most exciting reasons for going to the show would be watching barista competition and of course meeting all the vendors whom have been supporting us and make everything possible. You do get to taste all the best coffee there for free too. That might be a plus for some people. Please contact Ada if you are interested.

thank you,

New Prices on Coffee

We have tried so hard not to increase our prices and most people to compare my coffee prices with Roy's. The difference is Roy's coffee doesn't have rent or utility bills like Mi Piace.
The landlord of Mi Piace (Charles Thomas) had recently increased our rent dramatically.
Our coffee price also went up almost 20%. We have been absorbing all the increased on food cost and many other areas to keep our customers happy. But we can't survive by losing money making coffee. We are sorry this would have to happen but we do have to increase approximately 10% on all our drinks starting September 1st.


Thank you,
