Hi everyone!
Thank you for the congrats & well wishes. We have been planning this for a while. I am a huge coffee lover and we have both been baristas in the past. I am also a huge health & safety geek for the workplace, so I am excited to incorporate my passion for customer service and employee wellness/fairness into this business. We plan to have an arrangement of drinks from specialty coffees to non coffee drinks like matcha, loose leaf tea, chai, and hot chocolate. I love all of them! We are currently working with our health department and plans, so we do not have an open date. Thank you for watching and we hope to meet some of you when we open!
We have researched and consulted our coffee partner about layout and equipment. Our menu has been carefully selected and we are working hard on this every single day. These videos are just to show the fun transformation, so please understand there is 10 times more work behind the scenes that would not be as fun to watch! Thank you all so much.
You have the absolute coolest mom!
what a great project, and fantastic helper you have. Having recently opened a shop myself, in IL those ceiling tiles would not be allowed over food service areas> They need to be non-porous. the back side of that paneling is not.
@@bellewhipple where is it at Reedcity...
You look so much like your Dad❤
Thank you for tuning in to this new adventure! We are not open yet- we'll let you know the location when we do. Probably a month to go yet, so stay tuned for more videos and info!
Belle's videos popped up on my feed, so I watched them. She and Mick have so many of the same mannerisms etc all reminiscent of you and Dave.
Good luck on your venture from Queensland.
Looking forward to it!!😍😍
What town is the coffee shop
Ok Brooke,YOU GOT ME!...Now,I MUST make the journey up to your "neck of the woods"😉to visit the coffee shop(yep,HUGE coffee drinker/lover ☕️😍)...and I'd love to stay at your "retreat",while visiting(if that is "up & running",too🤞)...I'll be watching for updates(I also just subscribed to Belle's channel..already subscribed to Mick's😉,and OF COURSE Dave's)..I enjoy your channel SO MUCH..I joined your "tribe" during the lockdown...
We have a little homestead,at the bottom of Monteagle Mtn.,Tennessee and I really enjoy your content,personality and faith!🙏
Btw,I plan on "talking over" the trip up there,with the "ole man"😉🤣,by our nightly "fire"(yep,we do that ALOT,too)..we've been planting(big garden),mowing and working with our rabbits,chickens,pigs,etc. all day...this will be a WONDERFUL conversation,fireside...this evening.....Thanks for sharing💕 from the little homestead at the bottom of Monteagle Mtn. Kim & Phillip💕God Bless You and yours🙏💕
Hey I have 20 years as a coffee house consultant in New York, it would be my pleasure to help. No charge. I just love your channel.
“Betting on Coffee.” 😊
Great to see mom/daughter working together! You guys make a terrific team! I wish you great success in your new business!
I love “a place that makes you want to stay awhile.” There are a lot of coffee houses, but I have no doubt that this one is going to be a community favorite.
As someone that has worked in the food service industry for over 20 years, I recommend that you talk to someone that works in food service and consult with them about all your ideas for the design, menu, work flow and layout of your of your space. Find out what all the requirements are from the health department as far as hand washing stations, food safety, Fire exits and how many people you could fit in your space safely, etc. And making sure you’re purchasing all commercial grade products, and the proper chemicals and cleaners as well. I live in the state of Washington, and our rules are pretty strict with everything, I don’t know how it is in Michigan. So many people try to do this sort of business launch with no former experience in food service and could fail miserably. I definitely don’t want that happened to you guys! I’m watching further and it sounds like these guys are doing all the proper footwork and homework with the health department, which is a good thing!
I could not have said it better. I have played guitar in many coffeshops and heard all of the above from the owners . I also ran a convenience store, and several others. Michigan, I'm sure, is pretty strict, even though they convinced their farmers in the 90's that it was safe to dump municipal water treatment PFAS waste on organic farm fields . So not sustainable!
I have worked in food service forever! Don’t worry, we know lots of the in’s and outs. We already have all of this down. But thank you for the suggestions! We did not go into this without a plan.
@@bellewhippleI have faith in you (Even though I don't know you) because of your parents success, much luck young lady❤
@@bellewhipple Oh no worries . Is there a name yet? "Belle's Mellow?" :)
Belles Coffee
Women are the Worlds greatest multi-taskers.
You go Ladies!
Wishing you both the best on your new adventure.
As they say, the walnut doesn't fall far from the tree. Belle is a little sweetheart. She's a little power house too.
Hey I just saw this. Just. a few minutes ago. Wow! An early dinner and here you guys are. Best wishes on your daughter's new business. I hope there will be a big screen for the family's You Tube videos ! Sure I can see it. Bushradical and Girl ih the Woods, Highlighted at Belle's place ~~~ With coffee!
Congratulations to Belle. Best of luck and lot of hard work in her new business adventure!
I’ve been watching you and Dave for a long time now. I picked up Ryan’s channel about a year ago and Mick’s channel within the last year. I love the idea of a coffee shop!! Now I have Belle’s channel to add. Your family is wonderful. I fully enjoy all of your folks content. One suggestion, paint the drop ceiling runners black between the wood panels. Trust me!!! Keep it up y’all. I’ll be a watcher for life.
Congratulations Belle. I follow your brother as well. I've followed your folks for a long time as well. You are pretty lucky in the parent department. I am so excited for your adventure with the Coffee House. I'll be looking forward to your posts. Brooke, amazing job being a amazing person, wife and Mom. Nice job by you and Dave. 😊
Mick and Belle look so much alike! The place is shaping up! Leave room for some modifications as you go. There will be a trial period working out the bugs and discovering what works best. Praying for great success and blessings, for all of you. Stay safe and GOD bless
Brooke , Belle , congratulations 🎊 on starting a coffee ☕️ shop . I can't wait to see it when it is finished 🙌 And wow, Belle and Mick look just like twins.
Yes, but Belle is the pretty one.
That's what I thought too!!
I wish you and your daughter well Brooke.
This was unexpected. Gosh, I wish you all the best. I hope it's a success. That's a huge space. Larger than any coffee shop I've been to. Wow. All the best!
It’s nice to finally see your daughter ❤❤❤
❤ Belle has her own youtube channel just look up Belle Whipple
Congratulations on your coffee shop business. You are truly living the American dream. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to include one of your kids in something so special. Best of luck 🤞.
I am so excited for Belle, Mick, you and David. New opportunities, challenges, DBA, equipment and making new friends. The WHIPPLES are always resourceful, hard working and visionaries. I am excited for watching your kiddos grow-up and find themselves.
Brooke, you are a GREAT MOTHER and cheerleader for Belle and Mick. I love that you and Dave are so supportive and nurturing. I love that you have come full circle with your love for coffee. Cool Beans.
I love coffee houses vs drive through one's. I only support small businesses now. And we have one where we can take our dog in as well so that is my favorite ❤
Congratulations to you and Belle! The color of the new ceiling really warms the place up. Takes it from industrial to cozy. I'm sure it will only get better. Ack! That blue paint in the kitchen area is enough to give a person a headache and eyeball pain.
You two make a great, hard working, competent, capable Mother, Daughter team. Can't wait to see the place up and running.
I think anyone who loves coffee has a dream to open up a coffee cafe. Good luck! I’m sure it will go well.
Tip to remove wallpaper spray bottle with vinegar and warm water. Spray on let soak a little then pull off. Start around seems spray enough it will come off in big sheets. Also wallpaper is two parts the glue sheet and the paper sheet good luck
Brooke - great news! The best of luck. I can see some opportunity for branded retail products including your own coffee brand! Changing out the ceiling tiles is a great decision. Lovely to see your daughter - she is so pretty and this will be a great adventure for her!😍🇨🇦
The plywood drop looks great. Wouldn't have thought of it, well done.
Great job on the ceiling Brooke! If you are renting, you sure are adding value to the owners property! I hope they don't come around when it's time to renew your lease and double your rent because you made it into such a nice place! 💞
Another reason to go back to Michigan. Best of luck :)
How exciting!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ As a coffee lover I think it's fantastic 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Love seeing this coffee shop renovation and look forward to move videos about the process!
A great start !! Keep er going
Are you going to have a few teas also so everyone can enjoy this ? Leave space for some comfy spots 😁. Big chairs....small sofas .... Just saying from enjoying some places I've encountered 😁
This is so exciting!! Love me some coffee, would love to be able to visit, I wish you both great success!!
This is really great Brooke! I’m glad you’re going after that dream! I am sure it will work out great! I will pray for smooth opening and lots of customers! And enough employees to serve all of them. :). ❤
If only I lived closer, but even so, I love the feel of small town coffee houses, they are special. Great memories with your daughter and an endless supply of caffeine.
Awesome!! I'll be following your daughter too. What a fun and challenging endeavor. Its crazy how Belle and Mick look like identical twins but neither of them look distantly like y'all. Beautiful family. I'm sure youre proud.
The Bisto is looking very nice. Wishing Belle great success and a wonderful future.
What a wonderful Mom and daughter project!
Far out!! Yay! Sounds like a wonderful project.
Congratulations on the find and all the best with your new endeavor. May your dreams be fulfilled. 🎉
I know you will be a huge success and delight for your community for years to come. Congratulations on finding a location and getting your paperwork initiated. I know your ceiling looks wonderful! Good work ladies!
Well we knew you were up to something!!! This is amazing!! I love coffee tooooo!! Your daughter is great.. this is so good and it's going to be phenomenal!! Congratulations to you both! So happy ! Just take a step at a time and it will all work out beautifully!!! Love it!! ☕️☕️☕️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow...That's great! I wish Belle the best in her new adventure. It looks like the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree!! You guy's are awesome!
Love 💞 coffee ☕☕☕❣️ wish you luck with your future coffee ☕ shop
What an amazing adventure for you and Belle!!!! I never thought you would be interested in a business in a town. But I think she explained her love of this plan and you thought for a short time and said yes. Hats off to the both of you, I say. Is Bella a real people person like you are? Best to the both of you in this new time in each of your lives. Love from Central Oklahoma
I adore coffee ☕ almost as much as the Whipple family! The shop is going to be amazing.
That's so cool! Congratulations and good luck on your new chapter!☕🍵
This is so exciting! My family has been fans of your family for years. My grandma has lived in BR since her childhood and my parents met at Ferris. We routinely visit family up there. Can't wait to stop by!!
Hey Brooke, what a creative family you have, can’t wait to see the finished shop, Best wishes to you all.X🏴💕
Hey Brooke and Belle 👋 Well done for starting your dream of a coffee shop. A Coffee shop with a small library of books to buy or borrow with a cosy reading area was always a dream of mine as a young adult. So I am extra excited to see where this takes you and what you create ❤. Have a blessed week 🙏
WOW what an accomplishment creating a business & memories with her Mom. Congrats to you both!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh my goodness! You two are working incrdibly hard on this new venture! Wishing you the best on your new dream business! 😊
wow! Belle looks like your son, a lot. She will do fine with what she has learned from both you and your husband.
Good for you 🎉. Everyone will want your magical coffee ☕
You go girls!!! This adventure is so exciting. Lots of work yes to go but the ceiling being done is a huge accomplishment. hugs
Brooke nice to finally meet your daughter Belle, great to see you take this venture on together. God bless you both.
Exciting project! Go Belle and Brook!
I'm so excited to see this project grow! I've watched Belle's videos and she seems really driven. When you are up and running, I will plan a trip down to have a great cup of coffee. ❣
Looking forward to seeing the final of the project and opening. Congratulations!!!!
Great video! My wife and I live in BR. However, I used to live in NY and my wife used to live in Seoul, Korea. While living there, we had a lot of experience going to cat cafes. Have you thought about teaming up with ARC and turning this into a cat cafe? This will make your coffee shop really stand out from all of the other coffee shops in BR. Cat cafes are usually HUGELY popular in college towns. We would love to partner up and help out!
Your children are blessed with the most lovely parents on earth.
My Daughter has her phd in literature she reads and writes all the time in her favorite coffee place and has a full time job in publishing in NYC and also married to a Doctor and Scientist a coffee lover as well as tea.
WOW it certainly was a surprise. Very good, that is looking good already. Great to see you and Belle working together. ❤
What a great idea! Its looking pretty good so far, Ladies! Can't wait to see the next episode!
Best of luck in your new adventure! Love the space!
What a great mom/daughter endeavor! Go Belle! You have gone full circle in your coffee adventures! ☕☕☕☕
I have watched Belle’s channel; she is a natural at that too. You gals make a super team! Best of everything to the business success! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🇨🇦
I've been following along on Belle's channel -- so exciting!
That ceiling looks so nice. The place looks huge! Good luck with the walls.❤❤
Something to consider is your state fire code, and local fire code bylaws. You plywood ceiling inserts would never pass the fire code for flame spread. Check the state codes before you find you contravened and have to rebuild parts of this project. Just my thought.
How exciting. Im so happy for U 2 . Congratulations.
Congratulations you guys!!! The ceiling looks amazing. 🙂
Oh this brings back so many memories. We opened a coffee/ice cream shop in the Red River Gorge area in KY about 3 years ago. We took a 1909 brick building and remodeled the whole thing with air bnb upstairs and the coffee/ice cream shop downstairs named it "The Brick". It has so much character and charm. We leased a pottery maker to sell his pottery there too. It turned out great. If we can do it, you can too. Hang in there!
awesome!
This is so cool to see mother and daughter start a business together. Congratulations and good luck.
I am drinking my coffee while watching the video. I am a big fan of coffee. Got to have it. What a nice idea. Mom and Daughter opening a coffee shop together. I wish you both the best of luck.🙏☕😊👍
Good luck on your coffee house …I love coffee too! Wishing you two the best building projects! Hoping all goes well! Make sure you two keep hydrated with extra electrolytes ! Take Care of eachother! Get good sleep too! Be well 👋☕️
Gonna be the coolest shop in town
The ceiling turned out so pretty!! What a great idea and hard work to get it done!!you rock ladies!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the ceiling. I will recommend a dishwasher if your planning on in house coffee mugs and other glasses, it saves so much headache.
Diffferent flavors of iced teas, and iced coffees for the up, and coming, (I think it's gonna be a early hot one here, (the laughing gulls have already showed up a month early!)) Hot summer. Me? haha, I can drink hot coffee when it's 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Nice long season to sell hot coffee, cocoa and tea anywhere in the colder parts of the Western hemishere.
It ain't cramped for space, but you just can't tell how big your retail store space is, not until you move everthing in. I.e. freezers, and ridge's , microwaves, coffee makers w/ concomitant carafes, etc. You'll need a nice sized rotary oven, and a grill too, (if you're gonna make sandwitches.) Big work , but it all looks like big fun too! You already have a big head start renting your retail space in what looks like a strip mall? Huge plate glass windows , with which to invite customers in , and make it nice for patrons to look out onto the street as well. (After you guys move everything in , I'll bet you could still seat 60 customers at a time easily. (Well , maybe 40 then , still.))
P.s. Working for yourself? Beat's the snot out of workng for someone else! By a mile at least! Congratulations, and good look to Belle!.Cool beans yet.
I'm thrilled for you and your family. My favorite part of my day is making espresso with grounded up starbucks beans, then steaming whole milk, adding one splenda packet and a little bit of vanilla syrup. I hope it works out for you all!
Remember to put a sloth on the door, to remind everyone to relax and enjoy the coffee..
I like how you decorate/design your sleep quarters. It is going to be fun seeing what you do with the walls! Congrats 🎉 wishing you lots of success. 🥳
The donut shop you visited after Alone, could be an upsell to compliment your coffee products.
Great success to Belle and yourself.
So cool your daughter is opening a coffee shop. That you are both doing the work.
Ceiling looks great.
Your daughter is beautiful and so are you! What a fun adventure! I love it so much!!!! ❤
Love, Love that idea. I run my own clinic for eleven years, so so satisfying and I felt so proud that took the chance even that I had always worked in hospitals. I experienced a LOT of bad leaders and I hated it. I run my alternative clinic alone and I had a LOT of treatments. I never regretted it and worked one more then I had too before my retirement. I loved to met people like my self and to be able to make a good difference in their life. So Good luck to your daughter and she is lucky that have you to support her and help her, I had NONE. Light and love
Wow this is quite the surprise and amazing too. Congratulations to your beautiful daughter. I can’t wait to see it all come together ❤❤
Gorgeous space!
What a creative, innovative , ambitious family. Congrats on your newest adventure. How exciting and fun. Can't wait to see the finished results. Great work!
Oh my gosh you girls were heavy at it building tearing down building up moving around. Oh my god. What an undertaking but you know what you got it covered and is going to be an awesome.
It would be so nice to see the whole family working on this to help out!😮😮😮
I've been watching Belle's channel everything is going so very well, Love the couch that is where id be sitting sipping some java. It was cool to see Dave her uncle and friends and yourself all helping out to get this place up and running. I loved the color you chose throughout . I can see it being a success.
WOW 🎉🎉 awesome ...you both rocking it out ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ xxx
Congratulations to Belle! Blessings to you both! Best wishes in the future business ventures. I enjoyed watching Belle’s channel as well! Will continue to follow the progress!
How wonderful!!! Congratulations on the new adventure! It's coffee!! Can't go wrong there! I don't believe in 'luck' so, many blessings for you!!
I have been watching Belle, she is determined!! Great job!!! It is going to be beautiful!!!
Hi again BROOKE
Soo happy for you two! What a great project and business for you two based on your enjoyment of coffee. Quite a nice space to work with and will be fun watching your plans and ideas come alive.
Enjoy every moment of this time together.
Catcha next time...
Very cool! Congratulations!! Now I can add a new place to visit when I go on my epic road trip!
GOOD LUCK, you will do a fantastic remodel! So nice to 'meet' your daughter!
This is what you were talking about in your previous video. :) I want to open a café someday. One that cells coffee, tea and breakfast foods. Sometimes I think I'd like to open a mini farmers market. For now I have to relearn how to live, and get reacquainted with myself. Congratulations on your adventure with your daughter! 💜💜💜
Looking forward to seeing this project work out for you two. And a HUGE 🎉 👏🏻 Congratulations!!! Much success to you Belle
You’ve got to be the proudest MaMa! I sure would be. And how great she has you and Dave to be there when needed. She is so much like you in her work ethic and so many smiles. Can’t wait to see opening day! Thank you for sharing. I love her channel too!
