After months of preparation, Cuneo has transformed the trailer into a cozy coffee spot. Her journey began with experience as a barista, and she has now taken the leap to become a business owner. The Grind not only serves coffee but is also testing a new line of allergen-free baked goods in partnership with local bakers.
