Five Minutes With...

Tristan Kitson

Tristan.  The big Aussie. Coffee Fest wouldn't be the same without him. 

He brings comedy to your coffee... Where

Coffee Fest is his stage and his customers,  merely players (thanks Shakespeare).

He boasts a brazen attitude that demands respect. Yet, his innate quality to treat everyone from all walks of life as equal, makes him the most amicable barista around.
