CJ,

Congratulations, you've got so far already!

I just had a great holiday in the States/Canada. My favourite bakery was a bakery-cafe called Baba's Deli & Bakery in the West End in Vancouver, B.C.

High points were: great cinnamon rolls and the rest looked good too. Great coffee (ready-made in flasks). If you have good coffee then you have regular customers. Their loyalty cards were stored in an index-card box by the cash register. Substantial, comfortable chairs. Option of seating places: tables or bench at the window for people-watching, with enough room to really read newspapers provided. Day-old bread sold in special bargain section. Bags of breadcrumbs sold. Relaxed, smiling service; he wasn't hovering waiting for choice!

i love free samples & they make me try great things that I wouldn't usually have bought ;-)

These are just the opinions of a consumer, but good luck anyway and hope you can soon afford staff!
