At this Salt Lake City cafe, they source coffees from all over the world and micro-roast them in house. You can find all sorts of uncommon beans, including Kenya Nyeri AB Gatomboya, Nicaragua Finca Maria and Panama Volcancito. In case you want to learn more about these special blends, they also offer $20 "Coffee 101" classes each month. Not only do they do coffee right, but they also have a stellar tea program, traveling to Asia yearly to purchase some of their teas right from the growers.

Coffee in E Flat!

As many of you already know, Peter Rosen with KUTV came and interviewed us about the Mountain Regional Barista Competition. Here's the story:



No, we didn't win, but we did learn a lot about the La Marzocco GB5 and the effect of the altitude on the beans. We'll be at next year's competition for sure!

Congratulations to our champion Jon Lewis! He totally deserved it!

SLUG magazine things

We got some new copies of SLUG (Salt Lake Under Ground) magazine today and we were mentioned in it. Camilla Taylor from SLUG interviewed Less People More Robots at the caffe a couple of weeks ago. The caffe's name was spelled wrong we were "CafE De Bolla" in the magazine. But it's all good. We are happy the name is in there.

The bass player Rusty from Less People More Robots has been in a few times. I specifically remember him because he usually wants 3 or 4 shots in his 16 oz. iced latte, and I usually ask him if he's sure. Rusty came in tonight and asked if I knew the caffe is mentioned in SLUG. I said, "Yeah, but they spelled our name wrong, and that's fine because it was nice of them to mention us." He was surprised to hear that and went to check our banner and remember exactly how "caffe d'bolla" was supposed to be spelled. Thanks Rusty!

We had a steady day today. We were actually wondering if we would get any business because many people go out of town for the long Labor Day weekend. We were glad to see that people still come in and have tasty drinks!

No More Homeless Pets in Utah Newsletter

John was checking the No More Homelss Pets in Utah web site and found that he and Mocha was in the September 1st newsletter ! There are always wonderful rescue and adoption stories, or fundraising and special events featured in the newsletters and we really enjoy reading about them.

Here's a copy of the story about the caffe and Mocha:

Drink a Cup, Help a Homeless Pup

Something was brewing recently at the Grand Opening of caffé d'bolla, in Salt Lake City. All proceeds from the weekend, more than $500, were donated to No More Homeless Pets in Utah. Employees and management of caffé d'bolla donated their time for the event.

To kick off the fundraiser and to draw out the media, homeless dogs Earl Grey and Mocha threw their very own doggy tea party. The two pups of honor took seats at a table outside the café, lapped up some dog-friendly brew, tried out some delicious pawnini sandwiches, and feasted on giant, drool-worthy dog biscuits baked just for them. The tea party drew much attention, and Mocha was adopted by a fellow patron of the café.

Deseret News took this picture of Mocha, a St. Bernard mix, enjoying a special panini during our grand opening event to benefit No More Homeless Pets in Utah.

This was in Deseret News on the front page of "Utah" section on August 22nd. Mocha is the sweetest puppy! He is mellow yet playful, and he is really smart! Someone will adopt him very soon.
