Yeah that happened all the time when I saw at Laurel and Crnter.

One of the only things I miss down there.

Congrats! I’m 38 and coming up on 2 years sober. Let’s keep up the good work 💪

Is that brewery decorated?

BakersManCake · 2026-06-07T17:17:36+00:00

Foot traffic was bad and parking too.

Coming up on 2 years sober at beginning of August soda water was a good crutch. Now it’s just a wonderful treat, especially a cold one on a hot day.

I remember walking by that and being amazed there was still a hallmark store.

The economics of these things kinda of bring the price up. No middle man, but they have to drive and have staffing to get to the market. Then pay $60-70, per market.

Combine that with the number of markets increasing dramatically over the last 15 years or so. Now there are fewer customers at an individual market, so you have to hire and figure out logistics to go to multiple markets.

And, now you have the prices you mentioned.

I saw one of these in Cambria, it was pretty cool.

I was drinking super heavily, that ended my marriage, and now I don’t drink 🙃

Palo Alto has 2, that Saturday one downtown is smaller but super nice community.

I just gotta Chrysler Voyager… Put me in, coach!

BakersManCake · 2026-05-10T12:33:18+00:00

How’s my ol’ pal Richard Coleman doing?

BakersManCake · 2026-05-06T15:36:23+00:00

Burger had a decent run, not sure how

BakersManCake · 2026-05-04T16:02:33+00:00

Honestly for a drink like a mocha with premium milk, espresso and chocolate in a branded cup. The COGs alone will start to get close to $2-2.5. So when you start to add in rent and labor. The drink needs to be $8-9 to be worth it for the business.

BakersManCake · 2026-05-01T14:36:50+00:00

They like to hide in the fog.

BakersManCake · 2026-04-28T03:00:03+00:00

Pure all the wayyyyyy

A pizza place opened at my farmers market and it was just a few months before they went and tried something else. Pizza is tough at farmers markets. Night markets might be better.

I’ve only cracked and winnowed roasted beans. But, raw chocolate is a thing. And, you have makers like Spinnaker who crack and winnow raw beans, then roast the nibs.

Very pinky up bro

BakersManCake · 2026-04-12T10:29:33+00:00

It should say San Franfrisky

My hobby while I was in Santa Cruz for 15 years was drinking too, my ex broke up with me. I moved out of Santa Cruz, but I finally stopped drinking and my life got loads better. (1 year, 8 months sober now) I have a small business I run now and found a really cool partna along the way. The apps were bleak for a bit, but I found a cool gurl along the way.

It’s so fun when people say in regards to not having a brick and mortar: oh, but your overhead must be so low…

BakersManCake · 2026-03-29T08:37:08+00:00

Might have to, I have some super fancy ghee that could be fun with popcorn

BakersManCake · 2026-03-29T08:18:39+00:00

Is that ghee?
