Late last year I wrote about a coffee shop near me called Kona Coffee. I had no idea how they would make it. Access was difficult and hours were sparse. One morning I ventured to Kona Coffee because the line at Starbucks was too long and I had to have my morning java fix quickly.
I had no idea that the coffee I was about to acquire would enlighten me on how this coffee shop would make it despite the the predicting odds.
The coffee gained my loyal morning visit and the guy that greets me with a smile every morning sealed the deal. There was a time that I could walk into Starbucks and the barista would begin to prepare my morning jolt. As time went on Starbucks became too busy to provide the personal touch and well the coffee compared to that of Kona was simply not up to par.
I wish Kona would expand their hours to include Monday morning before 10 a.m., but until he does I’ve vowed my loyalty from Tuesday through Saturday.
The little guy greets me every morning with a smile and the question “Your regular?” I simply nod. Last Saturday he even gave my son a free vanilla frappucino…now that’s service! Not the “free” part because I didn’t mind paying, but the recognition of loyalty to his shop and the occassional perk that goes a long with that.
Keep it up Kona and you’ll continue to expand your hours and your staff so that you aren’t the only guy behind the counter!
