While many of us can say that we are students of coffee and coffee shops, not many can say that we study it on an academic level the way or guest  Dr. Jennifer Ferreira does. In this discussion Dr. Ferreira talks about her research into coffee shops, their impact in society, and the things that she has learned along the way. We discuss the cafe’s place in society and its various roles, as well as its impact on the environment, the community, and the economy. We also discuss whether more is always better when it comes to the increasing number of specialty stores opening globally and what might be the next phase for the growth of the cafe industry.
I hope you enjoy this chat and make time to discover Dr. Ferreira’s work at the links below!
