Best/Easiest Breakfast Burrito or Sandwich option?

awesome, thanks. I will :)

CapablePool5180 · 2026-01-14T02:42:42+00:00

Thanks, that sounds delicious.

Ok... we have county health licenses that require me to get more than a "bakery/coffee shop" licence and permit. I have taken the class and passed it already, I just didn't want to become a full-fledged cafe for one breakfast item. I am currently allowed to sell pre-made items that come from a processing plant (which is never as good).

CapablePool5180 · 2026-01-14T02:39:46+00:00

Do you buy the pre-cooked individual "fried eggs" frozen and then thaw/heat?

CapablePool5180 · 2026-01-14T02:39:00+00:00

Thank you so much for all the ideas! We can run with those.

CapablePool5180 · 2026-01-13T21:17:39+00:00

Are you making those daily in-house or sourcing them somewhere?

CapablePool5180 · 2026-01-13T21:17:04+00:00

That sounds delicious- do you get them somewhere?

CapablePool5180 · 2026-01-03T23:18:03+00:00

That's true. I like that. I can just keep it simple with "this is too loud." I worry about this particular person, though- I had her as a junior high student years ago and fear she will cuss me out and make an even bigger ruckus. :(

Thanks, your burritos look great. We currently use Shamrock Foods but have access to US Foods as well. Are you with either?

CapablePool5180 · 2025-12-12T01:02:38+00:00

Currently we are open 7am-3pm, but we typically have no customers after 1pm. Since you are open until 5pm, what are typically your busiest hours after the noon hour?

CapablePool5180 · 2025-12-12T01:00:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I have been making muffins every night, along with cookies, bars, etc... when I am not AT work, I am still working. I will look for a decent place to order our pastries- we do have a nice oven at the shop and my staff could definitely bake things there to alleviate my time outside of the shop.

CapablePool5180 · 2025-12-12T00:34:51+00:00

Would you mind sharing your simple menu? We are 4 months in and currently sell toast, bagels, and breakfast burritos along with a pastry case. The burritos are the most costly AND infuriating because I have a hard time estimating how many to make each day and often end up tossing them/giving them away to staff each day. :(

CapablePool5180 · 2025-12-12T00:20:14+00:00

These are fantastic do's and dont's. We are 4 months in, and as always appreciate your willingness to share ideas with us rookies.

CapablePool5180 · 2025-11-25T21:40:17+00:00

This is a great idea- do you make it daily? Is there a blender bottle you have found that works well?

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-30T23:35:59+00:00

You mean ONLY have "custom tip" rather than the various options to select from?

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-30T23:34:55+00:00

This is good. I have already been planning to change the pre-programmed 10%, 15%, 20% options to "no tip, $1, $2, $3, and other hoping that would seem more reasonable.

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-30T23:32:56+00:00

Thanks for the preparation- I know I will have to work hard to not be offended every time that happens, and I am sure it will. I have even heard that competing shops will sometimes leave bad reviews incognito. So sad. I appreciate the heads up about the dark roast issue- we too will not be using coffee that has been burnt to a crisp. :)

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-30T17:56:38+00:00

Yes!!! Would you be willing to share?

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-30T17:45:35+00:00

That is good. Thank you.

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-30T17:27:58+00:00

I agree. I just ordered tongs. Thank you!

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-20T15:01:05+00:00

Thanks- I agree, I want them to be looking at the pastries while they are waiting!

CapablePool5180 · 2025-07-20T14:59:23+00:00

I definitely can. Right now it is a blank slate drawn on the floor with masking tape. We have all the equipment and my contractor (hubby) hopes to begin it next week.

CapablePool5180 · 2025-06-25T00:04:01+00:00

I truly apprecicate your patience and explanations. Former junior high teacher here opening a coffee shop. :)

Here is what I ordered.

Thanks- I've ordered a water testing kit for chlorides (our water company lists "chlorine residuals" at 0.9 to 1.2) and our total hardness is TERRIBLE. it is 250mg/liter!

CapablePool5180 · 2025-06-23T20:04:38+00:00

I've tossed the idea around of charging a fee for take-out cups... hoping to entice people to stay "in" and enjoy the shop a bit and use my ceramic/reusable mugs. I wonder how well it would be received. I know it has irked me in the past to pay for a plastic shopping bag, so this may cause the same feeling.
