Hi, I'm Tate! I've worked in the coffee industry for just shy of 20 years starting in California, then in Phoenix, Austin, and now Seattle.
My favorite thing about coffee is how it brings people together from all different communities and backgrounds. I love chatting with and getting to know our regulars and guests coming in for the first time. I also appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making a great cup of coffee— the farmers who grow the beans, choosing the perfect ingredients to go with the coffee, and brewing a delicious cup. My favorite drink always changes but is almost always espresso on ice with whatever flavor sounds good that day. An interesting fact about me is that on my days off I am part of a taiko ensemble and we play Japanese drums at events around the PNW!
