Last December I read about Biggby's Barista of the Year being right here! 

Anna Wincek at the Maumee location on the Trail.

“As somebody who has experienced a lot of hardship, I know that everybody else is going through just as much, so I want to make sure that the interaction that they have with me is a good one,” she said. “If it’s one good interaction for their entire day, at least they had that one good one.”

What an incredibly thoughtful and conscientious person! Anna is trying to make it back to back years as the BOTY so I jumped at the chance to have her on so you could consider visiting her and her team, and voting for her! DO THAT HERE!

Part of her win last year has her headed on the trip of a lifetime in just a few. Her first time out of the country will be to a bit of an obscure African locale. 

I hope you enjoy our chat!
