After two years as a barista and trainer at The French Press, June Haupts has launched her own business, WELCOME COFFEE CART . It’s already wheeled its way into The Mill and the Montecito Country Mart, however the cart mostly appears at private events. “I had the idea from seeing all of the different food and espresso carts when I would travel around Europe and New Zealand,” Haupts says. “Eventually, I would like to open up my own cafe and start roasting and sourcing my own beans.” Until then, check out her blog for future locations or to hire your own pop-up barista.
