✨ 6 WEEKS OF FRESCO ✨
How it started… vs how it’s going.🥹
It’s hard to believe that just 6 weeks ago we opened the doors to Fresco Coffee
Looking back at that first photo — bare walls, ripped up floors, tools everywhere and a LOT of work ahead of us to now - looking at Fresco today still feels a little surreal.
It started with just me and Danny and a vision. No corporate company, no big boss behind us — just the two of us with an idea of what we wanted to create and the hope that people would actually walk through the doors. (I genuinely lost SO much sleep over that part 😂)
We wanted somewhere warm and welcoming. Somewhere for your morning coffee, breakfast dates and catch-ups. Somewhere people would genuinely want to come back to.
Fast forward six weeks and it has been everything we hoped for and so much more.
The familiar faces, people who have made us part of their daily routine, lovely reviews, recommendations, shares, queues out the door and ridiculously busy weekends… we genuinely couldn’t have imagined the support we’ve received. 🤎
And today probably summed up owning a small business perfectly. 😂
We had a little bump in the road with our chef calling in sick this morning, things still have to carry on and we have to ride the waves
Our weekends can be extremely busy, and unfortunately that can sometimes mean longer wait times. Everything is cooked and prepared fresh to order, so please bear with us during those crazy periods. Our team are working as quickly and as hard as they possibly can, and your patience really does mean a lot. 🤎
Tonight, after another absolutely manic day, I got in the car and hysterically cried the whole way home. 😂🥹
Sometimes us women just need a good cry, so no judgement please!! 😂
Not because I was unhappy. I think about 100 million different emotions just hit me all at once.
Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Grateful. Emotional. But more than anything… so unbelievably proud of us.
I care so much about Fresco and every person who walks through our doors. Probably too much sometimes. 😂 If I know something hasn't been quite right, someone’s had a longer wait or someone hasn't had the experience I wanted them to have, I genuinely feel it. I go home thinking about it because I always want our customers to leave happy.
So six weeks in, the biggest thank you goes to YOU.
Every coffee bought, breakfast ordered, review left, post shared, friend recommended and every single person who has walked through our doors has helped turn that empty shell into Fresco. 🥹🤎
Thank you for keeping us ridiculously busy. Thank you for your patience when we're stretched. And a massive thank you to our team for somehow keeping up with the madness and caring about Fresco alongside us.
6 weeks down… and I don't think me and Danny have properly processed what we've actually created yet. 🥹
From an empty shell and a slightly terrifying idea… to this.
And we're only just getting started. 👀🤎 Keep your eyes peeled for our evening events, our Autumn menu and some exciting specials coming ✨
Kelly & Danny 🤎
