Nowadays it seems like people are afraid of truly connecting with each other. At our small espresso/ teabar called Mi Casa Su Casa in Baarn - The Netherlands - we see people of all walks of life connecting through specialty coffee/tea/music and arts every day. This is a book about cafe life, where we all start as strangers but part the wiser, happier and sometimes even as friends. Besides our favorite recipes 'We All Start As Strangers' contains portraits and stories of our guests. Contributions of a selection of the musicians, illustrators and artists who have performed and exhibited with us during the past three years. A book about starting entrepreneurs and local community for everybody who loves coffee, music, arts and still has the guts to dream.. After all there is more that unites us than divides us.
