Portrait of Jonas Gehl
i. Biography
The Climb
Coffee service, bakery retail, roasting, and education show up early in Jonas Gehl’s CV, which moves from Hjørring Gymnasium into a sequence of floor, counter, and production roles. The work at Cafe Retro and emmerys organic bakery & coffee ran from bartender and salgsassistent into souschef and butikschef, before Democratic Coffee Bar brought him into barista and roaster duties and Timm Vladimirs Kitchen added chef and educator to the list. The shape of that progression matters: it tracks a shift from service into control of extraction, roast, and training.
