We met the
owner, Rhonda Bloch on our first visit. We bonded over coffee and sharing our
potential journey of traveling throughout the US
I am totally in awe of successful Women owned businesses and am honored to have Rhonda featured as “Someone I think you should know.”
Rhonda has
three adult children, three grandchildren and her Husband has three small
grandchildren!
When Rhonda isn’t slinging coffee or cooking up yummiest at her shops, she and her Husband have fun filled traveling adventures. I was curious about how she fit in hobbies or things after work. She laughs and says on a typical evening after 9 P.M. you will find her sleeping or relaxing.
Her favorite
motto, “It is what it is.” She has no regrets personally or in business.

Mr. Awesome
and I stumbled upon Sip Coffee House Artisan Cafe, a sweet coffee shop on the
historic Square in Crown Point, IN.
Going into you are met with rather eclectic
and groovy local artwork that is also for purchase, vintage furniture and of
course that intoxicating smells of coffee, teas, desserts and amazing food.

I learned much to my surprise, growing up she wanted to go into Journalism. Advice she
would give to her 17 year old self would be to go out and become a Journalist J.
I asked her
when she decided to jump into opening a business and she says that was over 20
years ago. She has been an empty nester for 20 years and decided it was time to
start making money for herself instead of someone else.

Recent good
news is her husband just retired after 42 years.
She expanded
her successful business from Crown
Point
Sip
Coffee House 2 which opened in 2015.
You will

When asked,
what tool, object or ritual she couldn’t be without, besides a cell phone, she
replied, “Her Managers!”
She was
excited to announce that she will be opening up two more coffee shops this
year, one in Illinois and another two other potential locations, possible locations
maybe in St. John or Demotte.
Rhonda has
a passion for helping the homeless that are around her shop locations. I asked
her how she would describe herself using three words; she replied, “I’m God
fearing.”
Advice she
would give to someone contemplating starting a new business would be to; “Do
it, worry later about everything else.”
