When Steve and Melissa are not working in the cafe, they enjoy hiking, running, biking, doing glass art and traveling.

Melissa worked as a dental hygienist for 30 years till she decided to pursue her passion for baking. She loves to see people delighted by the things they eat at the cafe. She puts her heart and soul into everything thing she makes and strives to make sure every batch of scones, bread, sticky buns, etc. comes out perfectly every time. She likes to think of her baking as "love made edible."

Steve retired from a job with DEC. He has an engineering degree and a master's degree in business administration.

Steve is in charge of the business end of their cafe and Inn. He handles paying the bills, ordering supplies, & taking reservations. But what he enjoys most is working in the cafe with Melissa.

Not only is Steve meticulous with numbers but also with making the perfect cup of coffee for the customer. He says "its all about the people." He enjoys talking with the locals and meeting new people who are visiting Seldovia for the first time.
