Making sweet Barefoot coffee love will soon be a whole lot less cramped. As some of you may know the Barefoot coffee team has been working doggedly for the past year on our new Coffee Works roasting and training headquarters. We have battled through rivers of bureaucracy, permit issues, intense lease negotiations, setbacks, city ordinance problems, zoning compliance, air quality board permitting, licensing, negotiating, sacrificing, freaking, stressing and praying.
It has finally paid off. In May 2008 Barefoot Coffee Roasters FINALLY will be moving into our long awaited Coffee Works! All of our coffee roasting, training, offices and staff will be moving there. Of course the Barefoot cafe will still be running strong on Stevens Creek Blvd and all Baristas and cafe teams will stay there.
The Barefoot Coffee Works building is in the heart of downtown San Jose. It is at 76 Sunol st San Jose, CA 95123. View Larger Map Sunol street is just off The Alameda about two blocks from the HP Pavillion and across the street from the new San Jose Whole Foods store opening later this year. It is a beautiful 4,000 square foot two story building. All coffee roasting and production will be out of this gorgeous new facility. And Monica and team will at long last have a true training center with two dedicated espresso machines, multiple espresso grinders, coffee brewers and tons of space to train and practice. Monica will be holding monthly mini jams at the Coffee Works starting in June.
Right now the plan is to move the roasters in the first week of June and start roasting in the new space that week. Wow! And starting June 1st all mail and deliveries should now go to the 76 Sunol st address rather than the cafe.
In the new space instead of stacking two weeks worth of green coffee to the ceiling and having to crawl over it to get anywhere Eugenia and the roasting team will be able to have a few months worth of green coffee on hand. This should greatly reduce the times when we run out of a certain coffee for a few days while waiting for the next delivery because now we finally have space to store it all! You should also notice improved accuracy on your orders due to many new and improved systems going into the new Coffee Works. Eugenia and the production team have been working very hard on building new systems.
The new wholesale phone number of 408-293-7200 will be the main number at the Coffee Works and Our new Customer Builder Stephen Wade will be there to answer the phones and email and help you with coffee questions all day Monday through Friday 8 am to 6 pm.
The entire coffee team at Barefoot Coffee thanks you for your enthusiastic support of great coffee! We are honored to roast such great coffee and to be able to serve such amazing customers. 2008 is the year of the Foot! We love having you as a part of the Barefoot family!
