About the R&R Gang
So why would anyone in their right minds try to open up a coffee café? Especially one up in Black Forest? Good question. The simple answer is we knew we could provide a community gathering place to a region sorely lacking one. Well, that and we knew we could provide the same community some serious goodies. Has it been a struggle to keep it all rolling in the right direction? Of course, but what small business isn't?
R&R is wholly family owned. Our whole family is involved in the day-to-day operations, and we are continuing to work hard to keep our quality standards at a high level.
Ryan W.: Roast Master Ryan has been in and out of the restaurant industry since he was old enough to have a job. When in college, he got a chance to open a coffee shop in Greeley. That coffee shop used the Illy Espresso brand. When we got the first order of Illy, a rep from Italy happened to be in town. That rep came up and gave him formal Italian barista training on the espresso bar. That hooked him to the coffee industry. Over time, he researched more and more, got a chance to play on a coffee roaster at a former Black Forest coffee shop, and is continuing to perfect his craft.

Chief Twocupsah: Official Greeter Originally picked up at an amish roadside stand in central Ohio by Ryan's grandfather, Chief moved out to Colorado after Ryan's grandfather passed on. In his grief, he clammed up and refused to move out of a chair at Ryan and Danielle's home. Once R&R opened, he volunteered to come in to become the official greeter. He enjoys sitting back and relaxing in his rocking chair, and he gets a kick out of startling guests to the café. His interests include dressing in seasonal or other interesting attire, drinking his Chief Twocupsah's Blend coffee, and staring off into space. He enjoys moving around a lot, so you'll never know where he'll end up. He's not a big fan of kids playing with his hair and swinging his arms around, though, so parents: keep an eye on your little ones, please!
