Episode 10: Matt Carroll, Fortitude Coffee Roasters

And just like that, season 1 of Eating and Waiting to Eat comes to an end! And what an episode to close out on: Matt Carroll, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Fortitude Coffee Roasters, joins Carlos and Kevin in the studio. Fortitude holds a special place for Carlos and Kevin. Not only is Fortitude among the first places that they (independently) became regulars at but it was the fact that they kept seeing each other at Fortitude that cemented the friendship; one could say that Eating and Waiting to Eat exists because of Fortitude! Matt tells his origin story, his learning curve as both coffee shop owner and coffee roaster, and the realities of sustaining and growing a coffee business. Sit back, make yourself a double (quad?) espresso, and enjoy the season 1 finale! Follow Eating and Waiting to Eat on Instagram here.Connect with this episode’s guest(s) on Instagram:Fortitude Coffee RoastersGeneral links from this episode:Fortitude Coffee Roasters Best Coffee App Led Zeppelin Spotify PageGolden Hare BooksStand Comedy ClubNational Galleries Scotland: Portrait  Coffee Seasonality Studio Arhoj Lost Shore Surf ResortBecca Marriner Restaurants and bars mentioned in this episode:Short Long Black Coffee Patricia’s x SLBLa CabraArtisan Roast Origin Cairngorm Coffee RoastersCult Coffee RoastersRazzo PizzaCiverinos  Prolog Coffee
