    From Cleaning Company to Coffee Shop Owner — Nicole of Boutique Coffee Made Simple
    Jan 24 2026

    In this episode of Behind the Roast, we sit down with Nicole, the owner of Boutique Coffee Made Simple in Clifton Park, NY, to discuss her inspiring journey from owning a cleaning company to building a thriving boutique coffee shop rooted in creativity and community.

    What began with a small espresso machine and a simple idea quickly evolved into a boutique storefront — and eventually into the full coffee shop experience customers know today. Nicole shares the real challenges behind growth, the mindset required to pivot industries, and how her now-signature themed coffee flights helped her business stand out in a competitive market.

    Throughout the conversation, we explore what it truly takes to transition from service-based work into entrepreneurship, how trusting your vision can reshape your future, and why community connection remains the foundation of Boutique Coffee Made Simple’s success.

    This episode is for anyone who loves local coffee, supports small businesses, or is navigating their own entrepreneurial journey.
