Day 9 of preparing to open my coffee spot as a full time law enforcement officer #fy #miami #lawenforment #coffeeshop #viral

4/30 Edited to

Balancing a demanding career in law enforcement with the dream of opening a coffee shop has been both challenging and rewarding. Day 9 of preparation gave me a deeper appreciation of the dedication needed to launch a small business while still serving the community in my official capacity. The coffee spot, named 'The Matcha Edit,' focuses on energizing beverages like matcha, which aligns with my goal to provide a fresh and healthy alternative for patrons looking for a boost during their day. Located inside Roots Bookstore and Market at 6610 NW 15th Ave, Miami, the shop benefits from a location that attracts both book lovers and local residents. Opening hours are strategically planned from May 15th, 1-4pm for the launch event, then normal hours from the 16th, Tuesday through Saturday, 8am to 4pm. This schedule accommodates customers early in the day while allowing me to maintain my law enforcement duties. For anyone juggling dual careers or planning to start a small business alongside full-time work, proper time management and community support are essential. Each task, from product selection to marketing, requires attention but also offers fulfillment. This journey has taught me that pursuing multiple passions is possible with careful planning and the support of local communities. I look forward to welcoming Miami residents to enjoy 'The Matcha Edit' and sharing both my love for coffee and commitment to public service.
