The Barista Q&A Series is our attempt to introduce you to the folks in our community who play a crucial role in making Pascal's the place we all love. We'll introduce ourselves to you with the hope that the conversation won't end here. Introduce yourselves to us, let us know what you're brewing at home, tell us who your favorite artists are, and give us some idea of what makes you tick. We love our community, and we want to know you.


​Meet Cassidy Sizemore

​How long have you been a Pascal's barista?
Since this past summer.

​
Why did you want to become a barista?
I fell in love with Pascal’s as a customer last year. It became my favorite place to study and meet friends, and I was also attending the director’s class on Wednesdays. I figured any more time I could spend here, while getting paid to do so, would be amazing.


What kind of coffee do you keep in your pantry?
I actually stopped making coffee at home when I began working at Pascal’s. I practically live here, so it works out.

What do you most appreciate about the craft-coffee movement?
I love that it allows customers to consider the bigger picture of the product they buy. So much care is placed into the coffee. From paying the farmers fair wages to picking only the ripest coffee cherries, to roasters who roast each bean to its precise extent, to the barista who carefully pours the art into your latte, each cup has its own unique story.


If you could have any drink in your cup right now, what would it be?
A single-origin espresso or a cappuccino. But I don’t consider myself above enjoying a pumpkin spice latte on occasion.


What do you do on Saturday night?
My favorite Saturday nights are spent with my friends, cheering on the Gators in the Swamp. In the Spring, half my weekends are spent out of town at water polo tournaments.


What song do you have stuck in your head right now?
Farther Along by Josh Garrels.It’s one of those songs that don’t get old quickly.


What's your go-to Pandora station at the coffeehouse?
We seem to like the Alt-J station here. Sometimes I switch it up with The Lumineers or Mumford & Sons.


What do you think a coffeehouse’s role in the community is?
At Pascal's, we have some patrons come in with the purpose of working on their dissertations, and some with the purpose of lounging on the couches and chatting with their group of friends. I think a coffeehouse should aim to provide an atmosphere conducive to both.
