I get a high offer of just freaking people out. You have to figure out other ways to make strong art. How do you create something that's also new? I never moved my shit. I never moved nothing. I just abandoned it all for just... I came out here. I thought what was going to be for three days. But I never went back. You know? I never got my clothes, I never got my dog, I never got my girlfriend, I never got my house. I just abandoned it all for just... I'm in the car. I'm in the car. We're all fussing with the coffee too much here. I'm in the car first and Jamie might give you a different version of this. So yeah, I... I was in Oakland and I was looking in the Craig's list and I found an ad. I said lower east side restaurant for sale and Liz was living here at the time and I said check it out. I remember walking down the street, the April I think and the sun was hitting it and I was like that's it. I know that this is like the right spot. And she talked to my home at Kudabaya, the guy who run the falafel stand. Who's infamous for the... what's it fan's name? I can't put my finger on it. I bought the place for my home at Kudabaya in the Wien video. I mean he's well liked. You get excited about life. Hi, come in. He doesn't talk to you like a businessman, he doesn't talk to you like... He talks to you like your... You're his friend. I think it was a era of coffee where a boy, if anybody had any knowledge about coffee, they wanted you to know it. You want to go right? Can I put you in the sugar on the AC? I treat people like you want people to treat your own mom. You know, don't treat them snobby because they want to put sugar in their espresso. Fuck you man. You know what I mean? My first time at a brothel, I thought the guy is too friendly. He doesn't understand New York. First sip, I was like this is the best high-school I've ever tasted. And that was it. What? A lot of people like let their guard down and they feel comfortable and not to talk to somebody else. I'm like one arm touching the machine and one arm at the Wien go. And the other way is not much longer. People say it was like being in a subway car? Shit, it was like being in the fucking conductor's compartment in the subway car. All I ever wanted to do all this time was a mail coffee shop since high school. What are you looking at? I became a coffee fanatic before I ever worked in coffee. Sleeping in my station wagon is what I'm going to the med in the morning. And then I finally, you know, after all those years, I got a job there every place I ever worked at kind of got me where I am now. That was college for me. That's studying with the masters, man. Alright, see you later. Bye. So I started the shop in 2007. Now I'm opening a new place across the street. It's going to be beautiful and I'm very happy about it. And I really element leaving this place because this place has been home for 10 years. It's a weird door. And I have a baby in the couple days. It's all beautiful stuff. I need a fireball. I really want this night of the street to cross the road. It's going to be a big deal. This might be one of the last times I shut these windows. It's not the last time, it's one of the last time. It truly is. Maybe the last. And I'm not going to cry about it. I'm going to cry. I don't think we lost anything. I think we gained when we opened the small abraczo. It was just me and Jamie. And then Lily grew up in that small space. And now it's Lily and Mateo and us here. She's been in place to hang out with my daughter. And she considered it a little table. And draw and play her talk about the games. Do whatever little girls do. Liz is about 60% of this place. She is responsible for the entire repertoire of Baked. And soon to be new stuff, you know. Part of the reason why we met, I'm like, we why we got along. It's because I brought some food when I first met him. She brought me some olive cookies. And I thought that was insane. My food always went really well with the coffee he made. So there is something that's about balancing the two palettes. Thank you. What Jamie and Liz offer is much more than coffee. They offer a good chunk of community. I want you just to take it for granted 100%. Walk in, give me two bucks, you get a great espresso. All you need to worry about. Trust that you are going to get great shit. If not your problem, if not your responsibility to know why. That's my fucking problem. I just want you to listen to the grooves, have a good coffee. Good times, sit. One day I was sitting in a brothel. And it just kind of vibed in the place. I think the lights might have even been out. The song, a kale of brothel, come on. And it just hit me as like that's it. That's totally it. And then I emailed a friend. And he said, I'm going to give you a drink. I'm going to give you a drink. I'm going to give you a drink. I'm going to give you a drink. I'm going to give you a drink. I'm going to give you a drink. And then I emailed a friend of mine who's a big coffee guy. He kind of be little the idea. And said, oh, hugs. I was like, no, a brosso is not a hug. It's an embrace. Hugs are for bears. A brosso is where we're going.
