I have long and varied work and life experiences in music/music therapy, education, non-profit administration and small business. See details on my LinkedIn profile. I have a few stories to tell, a few talents to share and I love learning from others. Currently, I own/manage Espresso Buono Garden Cafe, your secret haven for a quick Italian or American style espresso beverage, or to stay for the ambience, garden setting, friendly service and fabulous treats. We have space for small group functions such as BIZNIK Events! I have also provided a large, furnished space across the patio from Espresso Buono for occasional large events. I display and sell the work of local artists and craftspersons and collect books for you to read at my cafe or buy at 50% to 75% off cover price. We have occasional live music and always encourage lively conversations. My staff is very community friendly and serves the best espresso around! We boast an international flair with a regular customer base of enthusiastic, young at heart, regular fans ages toddler to 90+ years of age. Our baristas and customers represent an amazing range of talents and diversity of interests. We'd love to add you to the mix!

I love to read, garden, hike, travel, play piano and guitar, write and sometime sit with my feet up, a good cappuccino or glass of wine at my side, and sudoku or crossword puzzles at my fingertips.

  Espresso Buono, just off the freeway in Lynnwood (yippee), is my new bit of paradise and go-to place for business appointments and inspiration for building my business. The outside grounds are my favorite areas, where I look forward to dates with my husbands, lunches with girlfriends and clients and a renewing of vows for an intimate group, in a couple years. The large pond, paths, several comfortable and covered tables, plus the inside rooms for indoor parts of the festivities are ideal. There was a perfect view of the pond and various trees, making me feel I am completely away from stress and the city.
  I may lease a room for children's and adult music lessons!
  

  Inside I especially loved the classy and sweet handmade items such as jewelry, dolls, framed photographs and much more, surrounded by bookshelves, all tidy and calming and inviting.

  The live music was what called me originally, now I just want to see if I can live here! And Penny has a wealth of experience in business but especially a wealth of support and inspiration to those looking for blossoming their businesses and themselves, along with it. Thanks for the incredible beauty and peace and delicious treats and music! My new home away from home indeed! Katy Northgate Children's Musical Literacy for birth to 9 Adult group piano   [less]

  Penny is the epitome of the hostess with the mostest. Thank you so much for providing the perfect place for our workshop. The space was perfect, the landscaped grounds were beautiful and your cafe is reminiscent of a Parisian cafe. All workshop hosts should consider Penny's place - it's perfect. Thank you Penny!   [less]

  Hi Penny,

  I was finally able to stop by your Cafe and get some coffee and one of the cookies.

  That is an awesome place with all of the trails.

  Wow, if someone can't relax there, they are in trouble.

  Thanks for letting us all know about this place.
