Meet the Staff

I will introduce our staff here at Bella Rose based on seniority. I will omit names, however to protect the privacy of my employees.

We have wonderful employees here at the cafe. One of the questions we ask on our application is "Why do you want to work at a cafe?" People often respond they want to work at Bella Rose because they love the mellow atmosphere. It may be mellow as a guest, but it is anything but as an employee. Customer service is a very demanding job and our guys & gals do an amazing job. Customers always compliment the service they received when visiting the cafe.

The lovely baritsa pictured has been with us here at Bella Rose since the day we opened the doors. I always marvel at how she has made it though all the craziness of opening up a new business and she has done so with grace and consistency. She currently works as the Assistant Manager (or my girl Friday) and gives us an invaluable example of customer service. It always amazes me how she remembers so many customers names AND their drink order! She is also a student at NIC working on a pre-nursing degree. Sadly for us, she starts nursing school in the fall. If we are lucky, we will get to keep her at least a few days a week! Here she is making her famous perfectly steamed milk for a regulars Vanilla Latte. Don't you wish you had one?

This is my red headed step child! I was once a red headed step child, so when my baker girl went from platinum blonde to red hair I decided to make her my red headed step-child! She wakes up early in the morning to bake our pastries every morning so we can serve them up fresh to our customers. She continues to astound us with here choice in early morning music...ah to be young again! It seems that everything I love (dried cherries, banana chips & almond cake) she hates! Unfathomable! In this picture she labors over cheesecake, slowly pouring in eggs one at a time! Is that the secret to it being so good? Maybe...maybe not!
