One of my favorite things about coffee is the relationships. It is about the farmer whose hand I shake after buying a phenomenal coffee that he worked so hard to produce. It is about the coffee professionals behind Portola Coffee Lab that I geek out with at the roaster, the cupping table, and behind the bar. It is about the curious customer I end up talking her ear off as I take her on a coffee journey from seed to cup. Simply put, coffee is fascinating. It's not just a beverage - it's an experience. As much as we want to dazzle your palates with coffee made great by the hands of many, fews things are more gratifying than sharing our knowledge and experience with others - you - our customer. -Jeff Duggan, Owner |
