Episode Five: Building the Dream Coffee Shop with Alexandra Dalton and Emily Roach

Alex Dantes-Smith chats with Alexandra Dalton of Rascal Coffee and Emily Roach from Ozone Coffee about their dream coffee shops. Alex’s New Orleans coffee shop, Apapachar (translated as hugs in Spanish), blends dive bar vibes in New Orleans and a no-laptops policy—unless you don’t mind being tucked away in a dark corner! Meanwhile, Emily’s vision features a Scandinavian-inspired haven with a pet dog, toasted banana bread, and Emo 2000's playlists – ‘fringes only!’ Special thanks to Ozone Coffee for hosting this recording.
