This episode features a panel discussion held at Aporia Coffee Co with Rory van Grol of Ugly Duck Coffee (@uglyduckcoffee) and Angela Liu of Pandamonium Coffee House (@pandamoniumcoffeehouse). They shared their unique approaches to opening a coffee shop in Rochester 10 years ago and 17 months ago. 

Rory credits Joe Bean and The Owl House with supporting his vision in the early years of launching Ugly Duck, which began on Sundays at Scratch Bakeshop, Saturdays at Fiorella, along with weekend popups at Swillburger, Thread, and other private events.

Angela links her success to the support network she has in Happy Gut Sanctuary (@happygut.sanctuary) and Winter Swan Coffee (@winterswancoffee)
