Hola, Bienvenidos a Puente

Where passion for coffee meets a dedication to fostering meaningful connections between farmers and coffee lovers.

Our Story

Kevin's Journey

Kevin's journey began amidst the lush fields of a plantation, where childhood escapades seamlessly intertwined with the meticulous care of coffee plants. From playful hide-and-seek sessions to nurturing precious beans, his upbringing instilled a deep connection to coffee cultivation. This early bond with the land and its fruits planted the seeds for Puente's philosophy of quality and sustainability.

Patrick's Journey

Patrick's relationship with coffee started during college, offering stability amidst life's chaos. What began as a morning ritual evolved into a profound meditation on brewing science and artistry. His exploration of the delicate balance of flavors and the precision required in brewing has become an integral part of our approach at Puente.

Our Philosophy

Light Roast Specialists

At Puente, we specialize in lighter roasted coffee, preserving the intricate flavors and natural characteristics of the coffee bean. Our lighter roasts highlight the unique profiles of each origin, offering a vibrant and complex taste that's both refreshing and memorable.

Small Batch Excellence

Our coffee is roasted in small batches, ensuring that each batch receives the meticulous attention it deserves. This process allows us to maintain consistency and superior quality in every roast, giving you a truly exceptional cup of coffee every time.

Uncompromising Quality

We adhere to uncompromising quality standards in both roasting and brewing. Our team is dedicated to perfecting each step of the process, ensuring that every cup of coffee is crafted to perfection.

Looking Ahead

Puente's vision extends beyond transactions, forging direct relationships with farmers and embodying vertical integration within the supply chain. Through partnerships, we source the finest beans, amplify farmers' voices, and advocate for equitable returns.

As we look to the future, our ambitions extend to becoming an importer, sourcing green coffee directly from Central America. By forging direct relationships with farmers, we can ensure ethical practices, fair trade, and the highest quality beans.

Our name, 'Puente,' meaning 'bridge' in Spanish, reflects our commitment to linking the rich history of coffee cultivation with the art of modern brewing. Join us on this journey, one cup at a time, as we unite coffee growers and coffee lovers through a shared passion and dedication.
