Ming
Still brewing, in good spirits — coffee by day at Honolulu Coffee YVR, cocktails by night at Ellipsis.
Speaks English, Mandarin
Ming works both sides of the bar: coffee with Honolulu Coffee YVR and drinks with Ellipsis. On a boat that means espresso on the morning leg and a signature cocktail at sunset — with the Serving It Right card in her wallet.
