The ‘we’ also includes Ms. Falon<br />

Medola, whom Kim recruited when<br />

she started the business. “Falon is a<br />

skilled and talented baker. She and<br />

I were classmates at Sandhills, we<br />

worked together at Forest Creek and I<br />

knew we would make a great team in<br />

the kitchen!”<br />

Homemade, fresh ingredients go<br />

into the soup of the day – prepared<br />

in-house daily.<br />

The menu offers a variety of salads,<br />

burgers and sandwiches to please<br />

all tastes – from the Breakfast B.L.T.<br />

to the Portabella Vegetarian Delight<br />

Burger.<br />

I am a picky eater which doesn’t<br />

make for a good chef, but I truly love<br />

baking. For me it is all about pleasing<br />

our customers!”<br />

Since opening three years ago, the<br />

Café has become a popular spot<br />

for call-in, take-out breakfasts and<br />

lunches.<br />

The appeal lies in the fact that customers<br />

are enjoying delicious and<br />

healthy, unprocessed food that isn’t<br />

handed to them through the window<br />

of their car. “But if the weather is<br />

bad,” says Kim, “I will run the order<br />

out to your car!”<br />

Our goal is to be flexible to accommodate<br />

the customer.”<br />

Aroma Café and Bakery offers<br />

special order cakes, pies, desserts,<br />

cupcakes, pastry and cookie platters<br />

– all made inhouse from scratch.<br />

Pies are especially popular this time<br />

of year. Kim urges customers to put<br />

their orders in early.<br />

That ‘niche’ is a Bakery and Café that<br />

offers real home-cooked food and<br />

bakery items.<br />

The breakfast/lunch menu items use<br />

Kim’s scratch-made baked goods –<br />

breads, rolls, breakfast pastries.<br />

Kim is even offering baked goods<br />

that align with the low carb/keto-type<br />

diet plan.<br />

For Mike, he simply saw that it was a<br />

smart business plan. “I had already<br />

my wife and I decided to move here<br />

to be closer to our grandkids,” says<br />

Mike. “We love this town. I felt that<br />

Kim had found a niche that the area<br />

would support.”<br />

“My homemade goodies were always<br />

a big hit and my husband would<br />

always tell me ‘you are really good at<br />

this!’<br />

Mike appreciates how their business<br />

allows for him to use his creative<br />

energy. “I have a degree in graphic<br />

arts, but I came from a generation<br />

of cooks. I can be creative with my<br />

cooking, especially the catering side<br />

of our business.”<br />

There is a party/meeting room which<br />

is available on request – a customer<br />
