ONE TASTE STARTED IT ALL
In the early 80's when coffee was creating a buzz around Seattle, Gary Smith (founder) had his first taste of what he called the “Nectar of the Gods.” Blown away by the quality of this coffee his passion was ignited, and he opened one of the nation's first espresso carts in front of the Seahorse Restaurant by the Mukilteo ferry dock in 1983. He eventually started dating the beautiful woman he purchased coffee from, Beth Korvin (Stewart Brothers/Seattle's Best). Fast-forward to marriage & two sons, together they created a successful coffee roasting operation with cafes in Mukilteo, Everett and Whidbey Island. Their passion for great coffee, healthy food, and friendships has attracted a loyal following of customers that has since grown globally.
