Meet Your Barista: Devorah Freudiger

Devorah is a barista at Gimme's State St. cafe.

Devorah came to Ithaca from San Francisco. With Devorah came an amazing amount of knowledge about, and love for coffee. She is a serious coffee purist.

Purists drink espresso. In case you were wondering.

To get to New York Devorah and her betrothed drove Route 66 across the country.

I'm talkin' through the desert, in August, with three cats, in an old Volvo with no air conditioning, and three bikes strapped to the back. That's a road trip.

Oh, and did I mention she has some serious style? It's true. Devorah claims "if my hair is ever as big as either Dolly Parton or Yeomen Rand I will feel like I 'made it'." We are seriously lucky to have her.
