I have had the dream of opening my own coffee café for 15 years and moved to a brand new community in Arizona for that purpose. Several people advised me that the Coffee Fest trade show was a must before making any decisions.
My husband and I went to the Fest held in Seattle October '05 and signed up for several of their seminars, one of which was hosted by Bellissimo with Bruce Milletto as the speaker. As I sat and listened, I was inspired by his approach. His vision as to what a coffeehouse...

When I returned home, I called Bellissimo and discussed our plan to go forward. The entire staff was so gracious to me. The first service I contracted for was a Business and Financial Plan. I was truly blown away at how beautifully it was written...before my eyes...my dream unfolded on paper. They also contracted my logo development. My business plan and logo have been so well received and have given me such an excellent, high-end representation, that I truly believe that Bellissimo is the reason.
I got the space my café will be in as well as the financial backing I need. The great thing is, I can call Bellissimo any time I want to ask a question. They keep their word when they say, "We're your consulting company for life." They showed such personal interest in "little ole me" and really made me feel like I was a million dollar client.
BELLISSIMO ROCKS!
And as we prepare to open at the end of 06', it's so reassuring to know they've got my back!
