The Team at Roy Street would like to congratulate Ryan Soeder on his taking first place in the Latte Art Championship at Chicago Coffee Fest last weekend!

Ryan’s coffee nerdology and obsessive love of everything we do made his win no surprise to us.  His dedication and attention to detail has earned him the position of lead trainer at our store.

True to his personality, we all received this text on Feb 20th at 10:45am-

‘So… I just won Coffee Fest’. 

Wow, what a moment seeing that pop up on my phone!  Of everything we have accomplished in this project so far, I have to admit this is the most outstanding for me so far.
