Hello, Menlo.

Founded in 2010, Coffeebar came to life out of an old tin garage on a backstreet of Historic Downtown Truckee, California. Now, seven years and four different locations later - our family has expanded from the mountains to The Bay. 
As we’ve grown, there’s been hurdles. When Coffeebar first opened, Truckee was just on the tail end of a crippling economic depression.  The so-called Tin Garage was the previous home of several failed businesses (including two coffee shops), and was vacant for over a year before we signed on the dotted line.  At the eve of 2017, we had four locations nearing 100 employees. Holy shit is right.
Fast forward to today - we have one location nestled in Squaw Valley, another around the bend in Truckee - not to mention our in-house Bakery, we’ve even moved our headquarters down the hill into Reno. As of 2018, we’ve announced the opening of our fifth location: just a hop, skip, and a jump from Stanford University in Menlo Park, California.
The new cafe is the brainchild of my business partner, a Stanford alum who has recognized the need for a community hub in Downtown Menlo Park since spending the better part of his career working there. Two years of renovation and countless permits later, we are so excited to introduce Menlo to our coffee, food and hospitality. A huge thanks is owed to our renovation team: Walker Warner Architects, Cody Brock Builders, and Nicole Hollis Interior Design.
With the opening of Menlo, I can’t but help be thankful for all of the support, feedback, high fives, laughs, and brews poured at all of our locations.  We couldn’t have done it without you. We haven’t just created coffee bars, we created a lifestyle. We’ve forged a culture from the ground up.  We’ve created a place of belonging, love, and serious talent.  We’ve constructed a roof (five roofs? rooves?) to share drinks, and we’ve fostered an ethos of creativity as well as passion. We’ve created a radically inclusive, Italian cafe experience.  
So here’s to you.  Our friends and family, partners and comrades, bros and amigos as we enter this next phase of our journey of spreading the #sexygoodtimes to wherever you may be.  Since day one in the ol’ Tin Garage, we haven’t been focused on creating the ideal balance of a coffeeshop and an integrated culture, but rather a community. Sourcing things locally with the same pride and passion we take for our own families.  Because at the end of the day, isn’t that what we all are?
Here’s a shout out to our new Bay Area partners in business as we move forward through this next year.  I can’t wait to see what exciting things are just around the bend.

And that’s something we can all be proud of. 🍻
