There’s something spooky in CDF 👻

It’s hard to believe I know, but 10 years ago this weekend, a very nervous 1st time business owner took over the reigns of a little coffee & gift shop in Dollar. Like a rabbit in the headlights she did what she thought was right and with the help of her loyal staff she worked hard through good times and bad and built a great business. 3 years ago her friend Carole joined her and together they have created the successful Coffee Shop & Restaurant known as CDF! Innovators, leaders, mentors, friends, confidants, employers, designers, curators of strange objects🦌and of course Bakers! The 2 of us still bake every single cake ourselves! As we set the tables and welcome our guests for another successful Friday evening dinner, we’d like to thank all of our amazing, generous & lovely customers for all the support and love we have been given over the last 10 years. We’re having a small glass of something sparkly! Much Love from us both ~ Ainslie & Carole xx CHEERS! 🥂❤️
