Heather
Our resident glass demolition expert joined our KH Café team after a long season with Eagle Ranch. Best known for her sharp wit and keen sense of humour, she doesn’t waste time ‘mincing words’- honest, straight up, with a mischievous smile and a splash of sarcasm. Of her many hidden talents, Heather has the ability to consistently turn out “coffee with love” marked with fantastic latte art to all her morning regulars-those are some good looking hearts (just don’t ask for that with whip cream)!
Jacinthe
Jaz, another Café team member, balances high customer contact in the café with periodic early morning retreats to the Café Kitchen. Another member of our growing, passionate, cafe “French Connection” Jaz juggles life precariously between exceeding the needs of our growing loyal fans in the café, to keeping up with her active “little guy”, and her undying quest to unlock the dark and mysterious secrets of chocolate and cocoa… “Hey Jaz….qu’est ce qui s’passe??? Pas grand chose…” bow chika wow wow!
Julie
Not to be confused with that 1980’s misfit from the Loveboat – our Julie also spent time on a cruise ship as an entertainer and lucky for all of us, landed a job in the Kicking Horse Café. This works out great, because she continues to battle addiction demons of another kind… to creamy, delicious cappuccinos! When not spending time looking up new baby names (“No… I think we already have one with that name…”) or trying to find a larger shoe for her family to move in to, Julie rounds out our ever growing team of multilingualists in the Café … serving up coffee and sweets, with a smile.
Lianne
Goodbye Fairmont Hotels, hello Kicking Horse Coffee! Recruited from the world of fine dining to the world of fine coffee, Lianne is the Kicking Horse Café Team Leader. Hired for her experience but cherished for her charm, Lianne has been pivotal in building a team and successfully launching the opening of the new KHC café and has been mandated by Elana and Leo to figure it all out, before we build the next café in locations not yet disclosed. For those interested, she is posting photos of her first Latte Rosettas on Facebook for the whole world to see. Viva Barista!
Stephanie
Ummm hum….Year one and holding steady, Stephanie traded in her Carhartts and canvas jacket for the more distinguished lines of a black skirt and Kicking Horse Café dress shirt. Never one to shy away from experimentation, she has excelled in the artistic realm taking Latte art to new heights in the Café with the occasional joy ride in the delivery van and foray into the Packaging. Always found with a big smile on her face, Steph has raised the bar on Safety Committee participation and training, particularly given her close work with Heather…
Taylor
World traveler, professional dog sitter, graffiti artist….so many potential careers for Taylor, however, lucky for us, her heart belongs with KHC. Taylor had heard so many good things about working at KHC from her mom Shari, that she just couldn’t wait to try it out for herself. Of course we had to keep the two of them apart, and although Taylor makes the occasional foray into packaging, she spends most of her time, rounding out the team in the café. Along with Steph, she has most recently begun pushing the envelope with even wilder, more intricate Latte Art. In the early days, you just needed more imagination… “That’s a dragon, silly!!”
