Hi - Thank you for checking out the website! Whelp, here I go on an amazing adventure. But before I get started here is a letter from the Ruby's "To our loyal friends, family and the multitudes of coffee lovers we have news! We are happy to introduce Laura Bailey the new owner & coffee roaster. Amazing friendships have been made over a cup of coffee throughout the past 27 years. With great memories of our Eureka Street Coffeehouse. Our staff was treated with such respect, patience and humor. And what a staff we had! They were eager to learn, talented baristas and very entertaining -which is what we all need with that first cup of coffee. Need coffee, give Laura a call. We feel Sutter Creek Coffee will continue on in good hands and will continue to serve the community." Thanks again, it has been a pleasure serving you!! ~Tom & Anne Tom and Anne Ruby are former San Francisco Bay Area residents who sailed for two years out of the country with high school friends on their sailboat, the "Cuckoo's Nest". They drank a lot of delicious coffee during their trip and visited coffee farms throughout Central America & the Caribbean. In early 1994, they moved to Sutter Creek and opened Sutter Creek Coffee Roasting Company, a coffeehouse located in their renovated 100 year old building on Eureka Street. They continued to roast coffee for retail & wholesale accounts. Offering many blends & many single-origin coffees. Now I step on the scene... A series of mentions is really how it started. Anne mentioned to my bestie, and her to me. I called up Anne and knew instantly that this is the path I was intended to be on. Once I sat down with Tom and Anne I felt right at home with them, discussing my interest in purchasing their company, having very open conversations about WHY I was so excited about the opportunity to continue what they started and build a business that I can call our own. My WHY is so very simple, my three beautiful, amazing, smart, funny, inspiring daughters! This company is not just mine, but theirs as well. They will be by my side learning the business and developing relationships throughout this great community we are blessed to live in. I am living my dream come true. I am devoted to learning the art of roasting from Tom, and the heart of the business from Anne. I want to be sure to shout out to all my exceptional friends who are cheering me on - I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lastly, I thank God. I trust in him whole heartedly. He proves to me every day just how good he is!! |
