The crooked Coffeehouse sign....you did that on purpose. To catch attention. I love her Logo B. That is awesome. For that boat load of work, those slats look phenomenal. Congratulations on a job well done.

[@TheUglyAmerican007]

Beautiful work gal! What a lovely thing to do for your daughter

[@Tam-Solo70]

Wow, it’s huge! Beautiful space!

[@user-bn7dg2km2d]

We came in today for the first time. What you have done is wonderful. It looks great! Your daughter was so kind, and the coffee was excellent! Congrats!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

wow cool thanks for stopping by!

[@lynnloehr1566]

The look of love and pride in your eyes at that ribbon cutting....it was so worth it! I wish her great success in her business. Way to go momma helping her along the way.

[@Smolbites]

I am so very proud of Belle for working her butt off to accomplish her dream! It's wonderful to see her create a career doing what she loves. Congratulations!

[@jwo1923]

As a mom, I can imagine that pride you're feeling. Belle is an amazing young woman with a bright future ahead of her. For several years, my biggest dream was to own & run a coffee house. I knew it wouldn't happen with my failing health so I'm so happy to see Belle accomplishing the same thing. Sending abundant blessings to her & the business. 💜

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you take care!

[@janeevans4758]

Please, please look up videos by Dr. Ken Berry, Bill Nott (Bill in Alaska), Dr. Robert Cywes, HomesteadHow, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Ferrigno Freedom, Chris Cooking Nashville, and others that will pop up when you watch those channels. The content and comments sections are absolute GOLD with people sharing their incredible health transformations, reversing all sorts of health conditions, losing weight, coming off medications, and improving their health dramatically, naturally through a carnivore-leaning way of eating!! It truly is life-changing!! 🙏

Well done, Brooke and Belle...it's beautiful. I did cry when you were speaking about your Mom being your rock. Brooke you looked so lovely.

[@redgarcia1427]

My goodness that child looks just like her father!! You two are some VERY talented ladies!! ✌🐢

[@uffda]

Someday when you reach the golden shores, Belle is going to look at this video and think how blessed she was to have this time with you. My father and I spent his work noon hours on a project and I realize how precious that time was.

[@teresagaffke8909]

I've walked by/looked at your sign dozens of times and never noticed it's crooked! Don't sweat the small stuff because you perfected the inside and created a beautiful space. Would love some evening hours because there's no good place after 4pm for a good cuppa in this town!❤

[@davidthomas2126]

Happy for you guys. May the Lord bless your business.

[@marcilovesbirds]

That shaken espresso looks divine! Beautiful, inviting coffee house.. ☕ you're living the dream!! 💙

[@Mindfulmaven7]

Still haven’t made it that way but will. Not to far away from the coffee shop. ☕️

[@patobryan7745]

Amazing and beautiful. I wish one of the national shows like CBS Sunday Morning would do a segment on both you and your Mom. I don't know of too many Mother's who could pull this off with their daughter. Belle, you've been given a great example of a good work ethic and it will pay off for you in the long run. I wish you much success and it's really great to hear the community is very supportive.

[@karenbrest187]

What a beautiful coffee shop - wish you the best Belle and your Mom has been a blessing to help you fulfill your dream💞

I could cry with you! You must be such a proud mamma! God bless you all. I have started following you a few weeks ago for ideas for my land purchase up in Northern Michigan. I will definitely stop into the coffee shop sometime! Congratulations!! ❤ She must get her creative skills from you, Brooke. Love the lily pads on the wall - my favorite part!

[@lpschick7237]

I love the blue & wood combination. The place looks amazing. A lot of hard work went in to this venture. Not just the planning & building. The inspections & putting it all together. What a great Mother/daughter project. What a proud Momma moment. Wishing you all the best success in this venture. Coffee is such a big thing these days. Plus on those cooler days a nice hot coffee is just what you need to warm your soul. ❤

I am so glad this finally happened and I’m so happy for you. I see the rest of your family frequently but I wanted to make sure that you were OK also. It looks absolutely beautiful. My prayers for all the luck in the world for you.

[@sydneyevans2637]

Y'all did a beautiful job designing and building Belle's Coffeehouse. I especially like the broad wooden window sills and diagonal partitions. The floors were a great save and add a natural atmosphere to the shop. Best wishes for prosperity!

[@Airwaves-Radio]

Beautiful! Belle must be proud.

[@mtarkowski1006]

Congratulations... may the road ahead be blessed with many wonderful memories waiting to be made.

[@patriceg1100]

What an amazing coffeehouse, congratulations Belle! Brooke you are such an incredibly supportive Mother and 💪🏼role model for your beautiful & smart daughter. We know where she gets it from!!! Wishing you huge success and longevity in this venture!!!

[@judyrobinson2282]

OMG--exhausting just watching but what a BEAUTIFUL coffee shop! Great job you two. EPIC!

[@shorteelan]

What a big beautiful space! If I lived there I’d book the place and host art workshops. My friend owns a coffee shop we have had a regular knitting group there for the last 2 hours on Friday. I’ve met some of my favorite people there over the past decade while knitting. She now pays someone to host it and encourage others to come as it’s became very profitable for her. I started a business when I was 25 years old and just turned 40. It’s the best thing that I did for myself. I love my customers and the friends that I’ve made through small business interactions.

[@SheilaGreen-mv2es]

Way to go Belle and Mom!!! Its amazingly attractive!! Love it and you both!!

[@homesteadwannabee4253]

I'm so happy you put the boomerang table in!! Also the Lane coffee table. Great to see good style, minimal fuss. You all put such effort into this. It's fantastic!!🥰 Blessings ~

[@joyce1992]

Congratulations, Belle and Brooke. The shop is beautiful.

[@llorylloyd]

Congratulations Belle and Brooke. The coffee shop looks amazing. I see Belle has some creative art painting skills like Mick. The wall painting was awesome. Those tedious trim pieces bought the entire counter up from jab to posh. Blue is my favorite color with the wood slat mini walls I love it. Been missing your videos but this review was worth the wait. Best of luck Belle.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks! Mick helped a wee bit on the mural when he was home :)

[@suezaple4950]

Oh this is awesome Happy to see that everything has worked out for Belle's dream to open her own coffee house which looks very successful indeed way to go Belle.
