Oh look! Another short Filipina! But what I lack in height, I make up for in my sarcasm.

Currently building my dream coffee shop...☕️💌

How the heck did I get here, you may ask??

Probably not the most conventional way.
It’s been a journey shaped by priceless experiences, incredible opportunities with the right people, countless lessons, and a whole lot of saying “yes” before I felt ready.

Every step, challenge, and relationship has been preparing me for one long-term mission: To create a space that fills people far beyond what’s in their cup ❣️

Thank you @thegroundedcoffeehouse @thecoffeeshoppdx @lostfoundcoffee @westsidewinespdx and so many more of you who’ve been apart of getting me here!

I wouldn’t be who I am without the women in this room who celebrated me this weekend. Thank you, family and friends, for always making me feel so special…going above and beyond, and constantly pouring out love and encouragement. This season is so much sweeter with you by my side.

Today marks 1 year passing by with @baristamoose at the helm.

“1. The universe provides
2. The first rule about fight club is that you don’t talk about fight club
3. Triangulate, and strangle

- You’ll do great!” (Advice from my favorite monk, Steve)

The container of stories, gatherings, connections, trials, triumphs and growth all encapsulated within the walls of this magical place have left my heart full of gratitude. The village of people it takes to have a coffee shop that endures is a lot like figuring out how space works.

This last year has been one of most rewarding challenges I’ve faced. And although I feel like I’m standing on a hill in the mountain of dreams I still have to be reminded that it’s not as hard as it seems from time to time.

A lot of ground has been covered this last year into developing a successful and sustainable business model and I’m so proud of the fact that at the end of every month we learn that it’s been our busiest month. I’ve reached a lot of my goals for this past year and I’m excited to execute the rest of them this year.

I have been humbled by my staff who show up and give a shit, they are the reason this place keeps advancing. I’m so incredibly lucky to have a team that can execute the speed, quality and service that they do. It’s an easy job on paper but it takes a great deal of fortitude to deliver excellence consistently with varying levels of conditions. They all crush and I’m lucky to have the team I have even if they don’t work here anymore.

My friends and family have shown me a great deal of patience, I appreciate you. First year of business is a lot like being tied up and tickled while you stare into the void but you are supposed to be climbing the great mountain. Easier to summit the great mountain if you stay in the mountain and live as a hermit for a bit. The summit is close and I’ll be heading my way back down soon. Year 2 will include a descent.

The enormous community of people who support this business and drive the demand for us to become excellent, I can’t wait to show ya’ll the final version of my vision for this place. Thank you!

My whole heart, I love you all!

- Moose

2008 I moved home from college to take care of my father who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. My brothers had started a band while I was away and with my family’s encouragement they were starting their journey as a musical force in the small town of Riverton. There was a coffee shop called “The Coffee Shop” that served as an oasis in a desert filled with people who don’t drink coffee. It was a breathe of fresh air for someone who needed to feel normal in sort of an abnormal place.

I joined the band as soon as the members of the current lineup had graduated high school and we would spend every Friday night playing open mic at “The Coffee Shop”. Eventually, the manager Mike (soon to be owner) would offer his help as a band manager for us while we booked shows.

Mike, to me, is considered family. He was in the room with us while my father was in hospice and has served as a backdrop of love and support ever since we’ve crossed paths.

When I met Steve and May they were just beginning their coffee journey and it was so refreshing to have a couple who could not only hang but could go down the rabbit hole with endless conversation. I was lucky enough to have lived in a house in their neighborhood for awhile as we got to spend a lot of time taking our dogs on walks and going on adventures. They both became my ride or dies pretty quick.

After a series of life events happened I found myself back in college and working for Steve and May. May would joke around with me about selling me The Coffee Shop and I didn’t believe her at first. They built a beautiful coffee shop and created an oasis for this community. They were continuing the process of expanding and renovating and making sure the people in Raleigh Hills had a place to be. It was hard for me to take them serious about leaving when they were putting so much effort into making this a better coffee shop but Mexico was calling and they decided it was time.

When I called Mike, my original intention was to find mentorship with the process of taking over a coffee shop. He knew I wasn’t going to ask him for money so he offered. And now “ The Coffee Shop” is able to continue on because of “The Coffee Shop”.

This has me feeling all the feels.

It’s not just a gym.
It’s a safe and loving place.
It’s a family.

Welcome to G3. Can’t wait to meet you!

We did it. ✨ Our dreaming and plotting and hard work all came together last night when this fambam sat down to its very first farmlife dinner. So proud of everyone for thinking BIG, taking risks, and committing to this wild, special, life-changing chapter. Cheers, to our crowded table.

“The door is always open
Your picture’s on my wall
Everyone’s a little broken
And everyone belongs
Yeah, everyone belongs”
