this is where I grew up:

New Smyrna Beach
2025/5/15 Edited to

... Read moreGrowing up in Florida has always been a unique experience, and opening a coffee shop by the beach has been a dream come true. The coastal lifestyle here, complemented by warm weather and vibrant communities, makes this spot a haven for coffee lovers. Beach erosion is a significant concern in coastal areas, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices to protect our shoreline and local businesses. Many coffee shops have taken initiatives to minimize their ecological footprint while maintaining the charm of beachside living. Alongside the incredible support from my family, the local community plays a vital role in thriving small businesses like mine. Engaging with neighbors and visitors creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, essential for a successful coffee venture. If you're passionate about sustainability, consider how your choices at local cafés can support beach preservation efforts while enjoying delicious coffee. With beach vibes and a commitment to community, let’s create lasting memories in this beautiful Florida haven.
