@Agata Graczyk Hey Agata ☺️So nice to meet you — and honestly, thank you for sharing all of this so openly. You can really feel how much heart you put into coffee and people 🤍 Your journey behind the bar (and beyond it) is seriously impressive — especially at 26. Head barista, manager, baker, creator… that’s not “still learning,” that’s already living the craft. And yeah — unfortunately many of us have met that kind of boss 😅 but it sounds like you took the lessons without letting it kill your passion, which says a lot about you. Your dream café sounds exactly like the kind of place people remember — safe, warm, a little magical, and very human. Coffee Elf vibes fully approved 🧝‍♀️☕🌿Also love that you’re realistic about funding and timing while still protecting the dream — that balance is rare and powerful. You’re absolutely in the right place to ask questions, learn, and connect. This industry needs more people who care about feeling, not just output. Keep asking, keep showing up to events, and definitely go for those competitions when you feel ready — they’re amazing confidence boosters. Glad you’re here, Agata. Wishing you many beautiful cups, good people around you, and one day a café that feels exactly like the shell you described 🐚🤎Have a great coffee today too ☕✨
