Coffee, Panini and Entrepreneurship With Cafe` Owner Nathaniel Praino - #06

"Coffee is number one, and being completely engrossed with coffee and sucked into the whole world of the good espresso... that's been my key focus for majority of the business. And then accompanied by a really good panino, which in my life and my growing up has been very important, whether it's just a staple lunch on a Saturday afternoon with mortadella and provolone or something a little bit more with your giardiniere and your prosciutti..."
I interviewed Nathaniel Praino, who runs a successful café in Adelaide's east. He welcomed me into his space where we spoke about coffee, panini, family support, setting up a second location, setbacks during his start-up phase, and more...
