Bring Your Daughter to Work Day

This past Thursday we partnered with Passage Charter School of Montrose to be a part of the National Take our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. Students spend the work day shadowing business leaders/mentors throughout a typical day. Pictured is Passage Charter School Student, Dezaray, learning to pull a perfect shot of esspresso from our Barista Tara.

The day was a success as Dezaray learned from the baristas and the management team about the ins and outs of running a coffee shop and roasting facility on a typical day!

Barista greetings from Africa!

Stevi, one of our multi-talented baristas, has been spending the past month in Uganda, Africa.

Serving as photo journalist for the Missions based project, "Light Gives Heat", Stevi has been documenting the country, the culture and the people.

This email was received today...along with photo. We will have to ask her what exactly is going on in the background when she returns back to us at Jovis! Look closely, and you will see the young girl holding a snake.

Hello !
Hope things are going well over there!
We have been loving it over here and have been busy, though it does not seem like we do a whole lot as it takes the whole day to get one or two things done. It is a different pace here. The filming is hard because I hate having all these camera's in peoples faces, but have learned when I should and should not be filming or taking pictures.
The boys killed a goat yesterday and we had it for lunch. I am glad I was not there to see it. Dillon did get lost of pictures so he could share...yeah it was not pretty.
Anyway send my love to everyone! *Stevi

Hello fellow coffee-lovers,(or haters, but we will change that),Allow me to introduce myself... my name is Dana, I am currently a student at Mesa State College, my major is Sign Language Interpretation, with a minor in communication.I have worked at Jovis for a little over three months, however I have been a Barista for about two years (I used to work for my worthy opponent).I would be greatly honored if you would let me create your next beverage...you know you want it, you know it's calling you...ANSWER!

Latte Magic

The first benefit Magic Show at Jovis was a huge success. Tickets sold out two days prior and we had a standing room only crowd. All of the ticket sales went to the Black Canyon Boys & Girls Club. Three area magicians all lent their talents to present a magic show in three acts. Each magician had a very different style which made this an enjoyable Saturday night for live entertainment. A future show is already in the works for the first part of May. If you are a local or visiting the Montrose, Colorado area, you should not miss the opportunity to grab a latte, espresso, or just pure fresh roasted coffee and enjoy the show!
