- Owning a café, especially in a small town like Harlem, Georgia, is a rewarding yet challenging experience. My café, Harlem Java House, has been a hub for our community, but it's not without its hurdles, especially as a new business owner.
One of the major challenges we faced was the much-needed renovation of our café's bathroom. Operating on a budget, we had to carefully plan every step of the renovation process. It required us to be resourceful and creative in finding affordable yet durable materials and labor. Despite the challenges, seeing the transformation of our bathroom was incredibly satisfying. It not only improved the aesthetics of our café but also enhanced the overall experience for our customers.
Another memorable experience was catering for 100 teachers early in the morning. It required meticulous planning and coordination to ensure that every teacher received their order promptly. We had to streamline our processes, from ordering supplies to preparing the food, to meet the demands of such a large order. While it was a hectic morning, the appreciation and positive feedback we received from the teachers made it all worthwhile.
One of the most physically demanding tasks we undertook was deep cleaning the shop for 8 hours. It was a thorough process that involved cleaning every nook and cranny of the café. Despite the exhaustion, it was a rewarding experience to see our café sparkling clean and welcoming for our customers.One of the most impactful changes we made was rearranging the shop to make our small kitchen bigger and improve the flow of the shop. It required careful planning and consideration of the layout, but the end result was a more efficient and open space that enhanced the overall experience for both customers and staff.
Overall, owning Harlem Java House has been a journey filled with challenges and rewards. From renovating our bathroom to catering for large orders and improving the layout of our shop, each experience has taught us valuable lessons and helped us grow as business owners. We are grateful for the support of our community and look forward to continuing to serve them with our passion for coffee and hospitality.

I'm so grateful to have found your videos a few days ago. I'm a bartender for work, but have a dream to have a career cooking on UA-cam that leads to a food truck. Your videos are SO inspiring, for multiple reasons.
1. New ideas for camera angles.
2. I love that your videos keep me locked in and engaged even though no one is speaking to the camera usually.
3. I'm so tired sometimes and your videos just remind me to suck it up if I want the things to happen.
4. They get my creativity flowing! I've had so many lovely ideas since I started watching your videos!
5. The fact that you own/run the coffee shop and do all the behind the scenes things, THEN film and edit these videos on top of it? Just remarkable. It truly inspires me to do better.
I'm so happy to be here pretty early for the journey! I'm in Alabama, so hopefully I'll be able to make a trip sometime soon to support the shop in person 😊 Best of luck to you and your husband! 💕
