She thought the farm cats, 2 deserved girls about 7 yr old, would be OK but sadly its not working. They are used to fending for themselves and are great hunters of Rabbits, mice and rats. She used to leave Whiska's Nuts and water for them but they are pretty self sufficient. They need a farm where there is a shed or a hay barn for them to make a warm bed in. Great with children but NOT inside cats.

It is easy to see why they have achieved growth year on year with sales now in excess of $830,000.
This is a unique franchise system. You the owner, control the coffee process from start to finish. This is achieved through the on-site processes of roasting green beans – taking the raw product and transforming it into something magical.
It is currently running fully managed and would be perfectly suited to a passionate individual or partnership who understands what this café is all about.
