Why limit yourself to a single latte with only one shot? And what caused this man to uproot his life in the Bay area and move to Santa Barbara? Was the move worth it? What was the rekindling in his personality that took place because of the move? What happens when a person has their food truck stolen ...give up? Not likely.
Our next guest presents us with a real mystery. How did this woman's parents raise seven children without coffee? We met this couple at Handlebar, doing an extended camping trip up the Pacfic Coast Highway. How do you travel the country in a camper with a 10 month old? The answer was easy for this couple. We live in a glorious time! Running out of something isn't a problem. In addition to motherhood being a “lifetime photographer” is her passion. Does that mean she has spent her lifetime taking pictures? Or does she work for the Lifetime channel?? It's ok to eat a little sand, isn't it?
This man has a store in his neighborhood,but drives across town to come to Handlebar. The answer won't surprise you after listening to his explanation. From vending machine coffee to third wave, why did this man's parents accuse him of drinking coffee "like an anglo" Why are the kids so much better behaved when they are with grandma and grandpa? The answer is simple, but still a mystery to some parents.

Her college major may hold the answer. What to do when a customer is extremely rude? There are lots of possible answers to this but what does laughter and a great boss have to do with it.
