Smart Coffee HD Selling Dimples Delights Treats: Small Business Partnership QA


The new coffee shop Smart Coffee HD (521 S Park Ave Winter Park, FL 32789) is selling sweets by local dessert-maker Dimples Delights . We were curious how the partnership came about, so we asked the owner of Dimples Delights, Owner and Pastry Chef Lindsey Nolder.

How did you partner up with Smart Coffee HD?
Kim Sweeting, the Owner of Smart Coffee HD, first contacted me in January when Dimples Delights was referred (to her0 by her niece. Kim and I then spent the next few months meeting, holding samplings and constructing the dessert line she wanted for her coffee shop. She (chose) to go with a Vegan / Gluten Free line made up of Muffins, Brownies, Cupcakes and Tarts as well as few classic desserts such as Turnovers and Cookies.

Are you partnering/selling in other shops around town? Do you do other things besides sell in Smart Coffee HD, like catering/other?
Smart Coffee HD is the only shop I am currently partnering/selling from. Customers have the opportunity to purchase individual items from Smart Coffee and are welcome to place custom orders directly with me for custom cakes, wedding cakes, dessert catering, cookie platters and more. We also have a food truck that takes a few trips out a month with cookies sandwiches, cheesecake, brownies and more.

What would you recommend for other small businesses who would like to follow in your footsteps and get their products into stores?
Always works hard and never forget or give up on the opportunity that could be right around the corner from you. With hard work and determination Dimples Delights has made it to a place I could only have dreamed of just a year ago when I started. I can't wait to see what the next year has to bring.
