Next to the wall of Qiaoxin Primary School in Yuanlin City, Changhua County, a lovely cafe was quietly opened last month. The wooden decoration brings a leisurely cabin atmosphere, and the coffee shop renovated by residential houses also makes people feel at home. This is the starting point for the 42-year-old store manager Denise to realize his dream.

The long hair shawl looks gentle, but he speaks with a hearty and bold Denise. He used to be the bride's secretary for 10 years, and he had a pair of skillful hands that could turn a girl into a princess. Because he liked coffee, he studied different kinds of coffee everywhere for many years. The wish to "open a coffee shop" was buried in his heart for many years, but he could not put down many guests who majored in beauty and hairdressing. Therefore, until last year, the child grew up slowly. She decided to realize her dream and "also serve as a role model for her children."

In just one year, Denise got all the licenses of baristas and learned to bake desserts. At the same time, with the support of his husband, he converted the first floor of his home into a small cafe in mind. "this cafe does not need to be big, as long as it is small and warm, and it is enough for guests to come." when it opened in April this year, many members of the forest did not know that there was a cafe here, but she was in no hurry to advertise or promote promotions. she said she wanted to do a "long-flowing business" step by step.

From the daily life of taking powder puff and painting to the life of operating a coffee machine and grinding coffee beans, Denise is not too unaccustomed. "in fact, when a new secret is very similar to brewing coffee, you have to constantly learn and challenge yourself," she said. She uses a semi-automatic coffee machine, which does not require a simple operation of a fully automatic coffee machine, she said. Only in this way can different settings be made according to each kind of beans. "in fact, a little bit of detail is different." The taste of cooking will be different.

Just like in the past, she had to show different temperament for each bride with different characteristics, but now the people she serves have become coffee beans that can't speak, but she can observe and experience each batch of beans with a slender heart. boil the best taste.
