About the Business (more specific in coffee ecosystem but please do share your thought about your other businesses):
– Why did you decide to dive into Cafe business
In addition to being passionate about coffee, I always wanted to have a place where I could work and be inspired. In all my trajectory I frequented many cafes around the world, I like the experience of connection in the world of coffee, the whole ecosystem of the plantation and even the accompanying food.
– Why do you choose La Marzocco & how does it play a role at your cafe concept?
Solid brand as the concept. La Marzocco shows me credibility, a brand that is concerned with people’s well-being and aims to inspire people with quality and authenticity.
– How’s the pandemic affecting the We are Mimpi?
We believe that Pandemic was a huge lever for MIMPI, because we were experiencing a situation of panic, Mimpi is an inspiring place, from the beginning when people arrived here and felt the energy of the place, all that feeling of anguish disappears, because our main objective would be to bring peace and love and well-being.
– What is the biggest challenge to establish the cafe business nowadays and how to overcome it?
In fact, one of the great challenges is competitiveness because we live in a small place without tourism at the moment where many people start to follow the same line, but we are exclusive and I believe.
Today we attract EXPATS who live on the island, many locals, from Bali and the surrounding areas.
