thank you folks! 🧡 instagram.com/cowdog.coffee
My brain is broken so for a moment, I thought no one arrived but actually, everyone showed up in droves. Congratulations to you two!
thank you! it was amazing! 🤍
loving ryan blonde hair and the length it at rn
looks great! 🤍
Me too. First, I was like, did they break up. Who's the new blondie? Lmao
Hi Joe and Ryan - I am happy to hear about the success that CowDog Coffee is having so far; keep up the good work! 👍🏽
Also, kudos to you on paying your staff a livable wage, and not putting all the burden for that on your customers.
Tipping culture in North America is out of control! Recently, in Canada at least, I am seeing more and more places requesting tips at the cash register -- including stores like KFC, that never used to require that. They set up the point-of-sale device so that you are confronted to tip (sometimes starting at preset rates of 25%-30%), and then you have to navigate your way out of that if you don't want to tip when a staff member just picked up an item off the shelf, as an example. I feel like I am being backed into a corner sometimes. 😀
thank you! 🤍
Congratulations on your opening! Thank you for still taking the time to film, as someone who gets a lot of peace and motivation from your vlogs it means a lot! Wishing you a good time as Cow Dog continues to blossom!
thank you!!! 🤍
Extremely proud of the progress that's been made. Keep up the amazing work!
OMG! I am so pleased to hear about the: "line out the door". I share your dream of having a Cafe...and totally enjoy watching you actually do it!
😊 - is how your videos makes us always feel. Somehow they're just so uplifting
🤍🤍🤍
It’s so amazing to see Joe and Ryan, grow and succeed. I am so happy for your success.
I am glad to hear how you’re treating your business. If smaller companies can show, how successful you can be, by paying people a living wage. Then, there should be no excuse for large corporations. Hats off, sirs! 🎉🎉
thanks so much! 🤍🤍
Love to see the progress and ongoing adventures you and Ryan are having this year. Very excited to see what comes next!
thank youuu! 🤍
You guys are a vibe, I really love what you all did to the place and since day one I always thought you would open a coffee shop
I love what you two are creating together. Enjoy every moment 🥳🥰
Im so happy for you both! Wishing you a lot more success! ❤❤
that is absolutely awesome guys! huuuuge congrats well done, you deserve all the success from the labours of your hard work. as the owner of a boutique coffee business in new zealand, i can relate to the effort that goes in to such a venture, and so my word of advice is to make sure you take a moment for yourselves because the monster can be relentless and so many people burn out. you often talk about self care in your videos, so please schedule this in to your plans over the next while...the customers are very forgiving of this and it won't change their level of support! love you both x
thanks so much! 🤍
The kiss at the end❤ ryan is very affectionate guy❤
🤍
So happy for you guys & your growth!
this is so much fun!! thank you for sharing this journey, it's so inspiring and makes me so happy to see you chasing your dreams!! JASPER YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS
thank you! 🤍
Congratulations, the people and community love you!
Can't wait to come to your cafe this summer from Switzerland!!
Can't wait!🤍
Awwww this kiss at the end so sweet you too! You guys deserve everything good that happens to you two hard working men! ❤
im so happy for u guys❤
So happy for you two. Make sure that you take the time to really appreciate what you have already accomplished. I’m sure that CowDog will be a huge success. 😎📚👍
thank you! 🤍
I am super excited for this project of you, cafeteria, turned out to be so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing ,I wish you all the best for you and your team on this brand new project🎉
thank youuu! 🤍
Congrats guys. Hope you enjoy this new part of your life. I bet you guys did the best you could for just two people. As someone who loves to bake, having the most stuff pre-measured and stored saves so much time. Casual, calming atmosphere with amazing tasting coffee, how can you guys go wrong
thanks so much! 🤍
Really pleased to see its going so well! 💛
thank you! 🤍
This is epic! So happy for you both, what an accomplishment.

Can’t deny it. When your a hit your a hit. The real trick is to sustain the momentum and support.
I’m so happy for you guys congratulations hope I can visit you someday
Desejo sucesso e tudo de maravilhoso para vocês ❤❤
GOOD LUCK with the Coffee Shop Guys, it looks like it's going to be a great success.🍵🍵🥧🍰
CONGRATULATIONS! 👍🙏😎
CONGRADULATIONS!!!
Cool you guys are doing great, hi from cuba.
First of all, you guys have an amazing passion for what you do, and we're here for it. It's inspiring. Second of all, what is Ryan sprinkling on top of the coffee grounds at 4:57 before he does the pour over? He's tapping some sort of small container. Here to learn. Third of all, Jasper!!! ❤ 🐶
Congrats! And welcome to small business ownership. It's the most rewarding and scariest moment. You're literally betting the house on yourself for the first time. As a business owner, I found that if I don't eat before opening, I won't get to eat until after closing. So get your AG1 on, and make something small and easy to eat in the morning.
I wish you luck for your new caffe😊😊😊
🤍🤍🤍
Congrats to you guys. Hopefully I'll be able to visit someday.
Welcome to cafe life Joe!
🤍🤍🤍
Congrats on opening your cafe!
thanks so much! 🤍
You deserve it! I will stop by soon!
🤍🤍🤍
I'm always so excited to see new businesses that prioritize their customers and employees 😻
But also gorllll u need to take care of yourselves! Prep some snacks the night before and schedule a bathroom break please ❤ Don't corporate exploit yourselves lol
Maybe get Jasper to be at the cafe once in a while. After-all, it's his "Cowdog" :D Haha. Congratulations, you two. Wish you two more smiles and great work ahead :)
Congratulations on the opening! Just make sure you guys give yourself some time to rest or you'll burn out. Other than that, I hope to one day visit the shop soon coming from San Francisco! 😁
thank you!!! 🤍
Congratulations you two! That is amazing that you're paying your staff a living wage.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
🤍🤍🤍
Congrats! So happy for you guys! Some advice from someone who has done what feels like 10 lifetimes in food service- take breaks! I know it’s easier said than done, but the not eating, peeing, or sitting down for 12-14 hours is not sustainable, especially when you do open Ft! ❤
like yr so good rn, your caps bit hard to rd on mobile😢
Yes coffee business is very hard but also super enjoyable 🫶🏻☕️🥳 ライアンとジョーゆっくり休んでね！
I just want to wish you and Ryan all the best in all your present and future adventure ... It seems to me that I'm going to have to fly to Vancouver for.a cup of coffee
thanks so much! 🤍
❤❤❤
🤍🤍🤍
🥰🥰🥰
Sounds like you're good to go!
🤍🤍🤍
congratulations
thank you! 🤍
Oh my god, your shop name needs to be in every title. Marketing 101
I need to visit Vancouver.
yes! see you soon! 🤍
CONGRATULATION 🥰🥰🥰 Keep following your Dream, LoV u Both
🤍🤍🤍
Did you buy the grinder and coffee machine or are you renting or something? Those are expensive af! 😳
What are those suede boots you wearing? 😁
Great video and congrats!
jasper so handsome❤
so handssme! 🤍
No tip prompt? I’m flying over
Good wishes on continued success...Where in Vancouver are you located. Attending a week long international educational workshop in a few weeks.
Congrats! Great success :-)
thank you! 🤍
spring rolls use rice paper wraps, and egg rolls use flour wraps. no such thing as summer wraps, unless you are planning to create them congratulations on your opening.
Joe, just seen your new video but can’t comment. I haven’t been here in a while. What did you do to your face? You look so different to me now.
Hint - consider keeping some bite sized pieces of a guality energy bar under the counter...pop one, chew twice and swallow!
I will come and visit
see you soon! 🤍
As someone who lives in Europe, I find being forced to tip in restaurants or cafes on the other side of the Atlantic mind bending. Here people only tip at fancy restaurants, or even smaller restaurants in smaller amounts like letting the staff keep the change or rounding up the pay, as gesture of appreciation for the serviced they received. Here it's seen as a bonus for the quality of the service, a gesture of kindness, it's not required at all. People also aren't expected to tip or to always do that nice gesture (maybe only at very expensive restaurants).
thanks for the feedback! 🤍
. . . looks great, guys . . . can't wait to drop in later this Summer . . . glad that there is no tipping . . . Europe has gone this way for a while now, and paying an employee a living wage rocks! . . .
hope to see you soon! 🤍
