Hi! Sorry I haven’t been around for a while, but I’ve been really busy!

One of the projects that I have been working on is Notepad Coffee. My Mum signed me for a business course at my community centre and I was asked to start a business and that there would be a market day at the end of the course where we would sell our products.

The idea was to make a business for kids so they could ‘caffeinate’ themselves without drinking any caffeine. It’s also good for adults when it’s late in the day or they are sensitive to caffeine but love coffee! I may also offer a regular coffee for everyone else.

I want to continue the business after the market day so I need to make sure that all of the costs work out and I actually make a sustainable business.

Here are some questions and answers about Notepad Coffee.

Q: What is Notepad Coffee?

A: A coffee business for kids (and adults!)

Q: What drinks will I sell?

A: Espresso, espresso with milk, flavoured espresso drinks with homemade syrups, various cold brew drinks.

Q: Will I sell food?

Q.Will I sell retail items?

A: Re-usable cups: we need to look after the environment! Paper cups and lids will be compostable.

The market will take place at Richmond Knob Hill community centre, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday, December 7th. The market will be cash only so make sure that you bring money for a delicious drink and maybe even a re-usable cup!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I’ll get right back to you.

See you at the Market!
