B E S T N E W B U S I N E S SSince opening in April 2011, Perfect Blends has built a loyal clientele by offering tasty breakfast and lunch items, distinctive coffees and refreshing smoothies – all with down-home service in a cozy atmosphere. Perhaps that's why readers voted Perfect Blends the top new business at the lake in our 2012 Best of SML Awards. "I have the best customers in the world and they have really embraced and supported us," said Corey Hansen, owner of the cafe, which is located inside The General Store at Westlake Corner. "This award solidifies the fact that folks love our food and our service. It's a really cool thing."
