The Barista
Carmelo
Coming from an Italian background a strong emphasis has always been placed on coffee...good coffee. That is why coffee is my heart and soul. I have always had an interest in coffee, where it comes from, how it’s blended and brewed and how it’s made. The coffee served at Barista v.s Chef has been personally hand-selected from a variety of specialty beans from around the world and perfectly roasted to create our signature blend. I have been a passionate barista for over 10 years.
The Chef
livia
Growing up in the restaurant industry I have always had a growing love for cooking from a very young age. I started off working as a cook in my parent’s restaurant at the age of 14. My passion for food continued to grow and I decided to pursue a career in food.
I have been a qualified chef for over 4 years. Food is my passion, I enjoy it in all of its glory. My greatest satisfaction is seeing my customers happy.
