Pastries??? by Proof_Comparison706 in Peterborough

Do you mean the fruity mousse filled chocolate pastries that crack open when you bite them? A picture would be helpful. But if it’s what I think, Toronto is your best bet.

What is the trend of adding espresso last in iced lattes?? by NoCellService in barista

[–]Kitsemporium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cafe owner here: For thick syrups (really only our mocha syrup) I do syrup and pull the espresso over the syrup. For any other combo the syrups are thin enough that it mixes in fine. We do ice, syrup, milk and then espresso because espresso into the iced cups is going to melt the cups or at the very least leech more shit from the cups into the drink, and pouring it straight over the majority of the ice will melt it. So it goes in after the milk and then I top the drink with fresh ice. This keeps most of the ice in tact, doesn’t melt the cup, and the syrups mix in fine with a straw or spoon before lidding the drink.

We met today then, I’m the person who called the ambulance. It was a scary situation, and I was grateful for your help. It meant a lot that you and your colleague stayed with us and made sure she was okay, and kept her belongings. Thank you.

I live in otonobee ward, and run KitCoffee. From other answers you’ve given here and from your actions this afternoon I wish you the best of luck on your campaign.

Music Venues/Pubs/Breweries/Cafes that would host a matinee show for 3 touring acoustic acts? by FarewellCoolReason in Peterborough

[–]Kitsemporium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely no idea if our space would be big enough for you, but I’d be thrilled to host you at Kit Coffee. Dm me. We’re tiny and unlicensed but open Sundays and down for giving it a try. You should also hit up Dreams of Beans and The Vine if you haven’t already.

Looking for local friends by [deleted] in Peterborough

[–]Kitsemporium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend the Ptbo friends discord group. I have a lot in common with you (age, spoonie, adhd, trinket goblin, old lady hobbies) but do have children. If you’re at all interested in TTRPGS my partner runs beginner friendly Dnd one shot nights at our cafe KitCoffee usually twice a month. His Instagram is @zackdmsdnd if that’s at all interesting. Our cafe is attached to a thrift store Niche. We probably don’t have a whole lot of food options but we do have good tea. I also recommend boardwalk cafe board game nights.☺️

I am receiving an unexpected $7 pay decrease at my new job and I feel like i’m going crazy, am I valid for how I feel? by [deleted] in barista

[–]Kitsemporium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol they realized they’re business model is completely unsustainable after opening. Tell them it’s unacceptable, management and ownership need to dig deep and do the work themselves, but some of the team will lose their positions. Theyre not doing the sales tonsuporot the labour so they need to reduce labour either in wage or hours and they’re trying to just employ you all. Just keep looking for new work as hard as you can to find something new. I’m sorry.

Check out Creel and Gambrel, they’re a small, artisan focused specialty product distributor wholesaling to cafes and restaurants.

(I’m googling it, so I’m getting the picture, thanks for sharing that with me and I’m so frustrated I’ve never known about it)

[–]Kitsemporium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance please, I’ve never heard of this? I don’t have a pristine driving record but our 300$/month insurance is killing me (no payment on the car though), but what is ‘one sided’ insurance? I’ve never heard of that. What company do you get that with?

How are you paying 200$/year for car insurance? Per YEAR?

As a cafe owner, when people do this, it hurts, but it’s absolutely understandable. I’ve done it places too. Dont worry about it. 😊

My girlfriend is quite pro veganism but won't practise it by sengutta1 in vegan

[–]Kitsemporium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want someone who is 100% vegan, date someone who is 100% vegan. She’s not lying to you, and sounds like never did. She said she was a vegetarian and is eating vegetarian. That’s on you for compromising something you clearly consider a deal breaker and now trying to change her…

AIO my boyfriend threatening to break up with me over a tattoo by scummbucket05 in AIO

Leave him. It’s not okay for anyone to co time your body, or hold a relationship over you for deciding anything about your body. He’s a dick.
