BEST BARISTA

Winner: Juliana at St. Paul Steep 'n' Brew Coffee Shop
The narrow, bright coffee shop on the second floor of the US Bank building has always housed friendly baristas who make the non-descript skyways feel a little homier. And Juliana, who's been running the Steep 'n' Brew Coffee Shop since she bought it five years ago, continues the tradition. A petite Korean woman dressed to the fashionable nines, Juliana's part den mother, part bartender, and part referee as the social situation warrants. She's always up for a lively conversation, brews a mean cappuccino, and has the precious quality of making everyone feel special, even on Friday mornings when the line's out the door. No wonder there's a wall of pictures of happy customers posing with her—the feeling's very mutual.
