I hope that even the most histrionic commenters here on Mission Mission, regardless of whether they respect Ms. Hassi’s decision, would respect that she has a right to express her and her business’ identity. And to that end that she may approve- or remove- anything she likes.

It’s just coffee, really, and I’m happy going elsewhere for it.

Jeremy Tooker who built Four Barrel after having years-prior done all of the construction and interior design of Ritual Coffee, as a former co-owner with Eileen Hassi, was sneakily and shamefully bought out by Eileen who had been setting money aside in a long seeded plan to oust him as co-owner leaving the creation known as Ritual Coffee Roasters solely her own.

There is a seemingly endless list of fellow business owners, past employees and disheartened customers who gasp of the ever-gone good ol’ days at Ritual Coffee when it was a company who’s foundation was grounded not only in amazing coffee but also personality and honesty, an inviting sense of place.

Eileen you fucked up again.

Free moustache rides in the back, I would guess.

I always apologize when I make a bad mistake. (advice to ritual)

Then when someone makes a cutting remark in response, he makes a non-argument that makes him look like childish.

And good god, I’d rather see sculptures of shit and piss than photos of people I don’t know at burning man. Always, and in every circumstance.
