My husband and I are opening a new coffee shop in North Georgia and since we knew nothing about it, we started going to coffee shows. We spoke to many distributors, wholesalers and roasters. We tasted dozens of coffee brands and sampled other coffee accoutrements. Not only did we need to learn the business, but we needed to source our coffee supplier. We decided on Cool Beans, at first because we liked their coffees the best, but as it turned out, it was an all-inclusive, one-stop shopping experience. The owner, Kevin Langill, invited me to come to his long standing, very successful coffee shop in Marietta. He took four hours out of his busy day to sit there and teach me all about the equipment that would be needed to open a shop, and let me taste various coffee drinks. He showed me where and how they roast the beans onsite, and explained in detail, the differences in the beans from the various regions of the world. After he had priced out all the equipment, I was pleasantly surprised to find out I could purchase them from him at a good price. So we went ahead and ordered all of our equipment from him and decided to use Cool Beans coffee in our shop to make drinks as well as sell it by the pound. Kevin drove two hours up to Clayton and installed everything and delivered the first order of coffees, then taught our staff how to use and clean the equipment. The best part is that he showed us how to do latte art! We are so glad we chose Cool Beans as our supplier for all our needs. We would highly recommend Kevin as providing exceptional service and products.
