Our story
It all started in 2017 when I entered the world of coffee and fell in love. I began my journey as a barista, working at numerous cafes in NJ, NY, and MA. Not only did I learn the art of crafting lattes, making syrups, and brewing coffee correctly, I learned how run a coffee shop on the back end, from a business standpoint as I worked my way up to lead barista. My love of coffee grew as I attended multiple coffee seminars, conferences and cuppings. Along the way, I had the opportunity to interview many different coffee shop owners and coffee connoisseurs. To further increase my knowledge of coffee, I traveled the world visiting coffee farms and tasting coffee from regions such as Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Haiti and more, learning more about coffee, directly from the source.
Fast forward to 2021 where I began to attend various food festivals, farmers markets and private events where I noticed a need for a coffee vendor. From that point on, I set out on a mission to build a coffee cart, bringing clients organic coffee and tea to various events throughout the NJ area. In 2023, Couple of Cups coffee was born.
