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.

thank you,

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.

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,

Help Wanted

I know working at the coffee house might not be the most rewarding place financially on Friday Harbor and working for me might be even tougher because I am such a perfectionist in many ways and also a clean freak. However, I think I am one of the very nice boss on this island and I don't usually get disappointed unless someone is giving me doubts on honesty.

We need baristas who knows the basics of coooking and baking pastry. I will train personally on every single details but I need someone who will not cheat the tiny steps to make things look nicer or taste better. Also if you are not a clean freak so enjoy keeping the working enviroment clean and neat; probably this is not the place for you. We require our employees to mop the floor every night before leaving the shop.

Please e-mail me if you are interested.

New Hours

Me and my stuffs really like Mi Piace to be the place for people
to hang out and relax, and we have work so hard to keep the place open till
late aftenoon. But opening long hours is not really financially affordable for us at this point.

Plus it takes at least weeks to train a barista that would qualify to be behind the counter of Mi Piace. With the fact that most my girls are leaving for college, I just don't have enough professional baristas to keep the place open.

We are still working toward opening till 4pm and hopfully that will happen soon.
But for now, we are very sorry that we will need to close at 2pm.

thank you,
Ada
