This episode we we chat to Luke Barrett who owns and operates, Buck Hamblin just south of Sydney in Thirroul. Once hometo Albert "buck" Hamblin and his 1940's shoe store. 2 years ago, the property came on the market after sitting dormant for 15 years and Luke's partner convinced him that this was the spot and I don't think he's looked back. Throughout the episode we cover a whole lot of ground. Luke talks about why he chose Marvell Street, the art of patience when building out a cafe and how to vent those frustrations:sarcastic social media updates. He grew up cycling (possibly alongside Nico back in the day) and fell into the world coffee that is so deeply intertwined with things on 2 wheels. After cutting his teeth at the original White Horse coffee shop in Sutherland for a many years, he bounced around Sydney cafe's until his current position presented itself and invited him on a ride. Oh, and when luke isn't running the shop he's logged into Strava, clocking up some serious Km's on two legs, training for ultra marathons. We had so much fun recording this episode, we hope you enjoy it too! Thank you Luke for sitting down with us very spontaneusly and having a chat. Can't wait to visit the shop soon!
