About me
Hi! I’m Aldo Robledo, an experienced Food and Beverage Supervisor with a solid background in the retail and food industry. I spent two years studying Hospitality and Tourism at TMU in Toronto, where I gained valuable insights into customer service, management, and the broader hospitality sector.I’m currently transitioning into the field of electrical engineering while still staying connected to the coffee world with occasional freelance barista work. I’m passionate about learning and embracing new challenges, whether it’s leading a team, crafting quality coffee, or diving into the world of engineering.Thanks for stopping by!
My Passion for CoffeeCoffee is more than just a drink to me. It is a craft, a science, and a culture that I am always eager to explore. As a barista, I have honed my skills in brewing techniques, espresso extraction, and understanding different roasts. Beyond my hands-on experience, I spend personal time diving into the world of coffee, learning about farming practices, processing methods, roasting techniques, and the chemistry behind every cup. Whether experimenting with new tools or discovering unique flavor profiles, I am constantly expanding my knowledge, driven by a deep appreciation for the art and science of coffee.

My Work
I've gained hands-on experience in retail, hospitality, and the coffee industry, each shaping my skills in customer service, operations, and leadership. Retail taught me sales strategies and the importance of customer engagement, while working as a barista refined my craft, efficiency, and ability to create meaningful interactions. Stepping into leadership roles gave me insight into managing teams, problem-solving, and maintaining high service standards. My experience across both front and back-of-house roles has deepened my understanding of business operations. Beyond this, I’ve successfully launched eCommerce ventures, learning to adapt, market, and grow in the digital space. Every experience has reinforced my passion for business, service, and continuous growth.
What’s Next?As I continue my journey, I’ll be going back to school for electrical engineering while also focusing on developing the skills and knowledge needed to one day open my own café or restaurant. From refining my craft as a barista to learning the ins and outs of running a successful business, I’m always looking for ways to grow. Every experience, whether in coffee, hospitality, or beyond, is a step toward building something of my own.
