A Taste of Home: Introducing the Backyard Hangout Roast

We are excited to share the announcement of a special collaboration with 3 Arrows Coffee Company to bring you something close to my heart: Felipe’s Backyard Hangout Roast.
We worked closely together to craft the perfect blend using premium beans from my home country of Brazil.
Every cup features smooth notes of milk chocolate and peanut brittle—it’s the exact flavor profile I want in my hand while hanging out in the backyard.

Why do we do what we do?

The question I get asked over and over is: “Why don’t you charge for this? Why do you put so much work into the community for free?” My answer is simple: this directory is my gift back to the community I love so much. This is a labor of love, born from a desire to be a blessing to others, just as I have been blessed by God.

The Bible calls us to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This is my way of living out that call—of leading by example, helping others, and showing God’s love to all my brothers and sisters.

This is my attempt each day to follow my God’s command as per the bible:  “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10

Mykonos Kuzina
For about a month now, I have told myself I had to visit Mykonos Kuzina in North Naples. I love Greek food and often had Greek food when I lived in Boston, but ever since moving down to Naples over 7 years ago, I can’t remember a time I had it down here! Life happens […]
Marco Beach Vacation Suites

Barbatella Trattoria
Having two young kids and no family in Florida, sometimes means that we take our kids on our dates, even on special dates like Valentine’s Day.

Moke Naples
The family and I were invited to try out the Moke, the newest way of getting around Naples! But what exactly is a Moke? The Moke began as a military invention for the British army in the late 1950s. It was created by the British Motor Company and Alec Issigonis, the father of the original […]
