Petaluma Coffee and Tea Company / by Dan Kabanuck

Petaluma Coffee and Tea Company, established in 1989, is celebrating it’s 30th year in business. No small feat for any small business much less one with competition from major coffee brands just blocks away. So what has been the secret to the longevity and continued success?

Nick Harris, the company’s general manager, says: “The biggest factor in our success is community. The owners (Sheila and Gardner Bride) have been very active in the Petaluma community over the years and we continue to participate in the many events that make this town special. The relationships we build with our customers become life long friendships and that is the thing we enjoy most of all.”

One of things that is great about Petaluma is the sense of community. We locals prefer to support the small businesses. What makes Petaluma Coffee and Tea Company stand out is they roast all of their own beans and always have - right in the middle of the shop, the ambiance is fantastic, the people are friendly and welcoming, and you always feel comfortable when you step in. The coffee just happens to be great as well, and for you tea lovers, they mix their own blends. Petaluma Coffee and Tea Company truly is a P_Town Treasure. Pay them a visit, hang out, bring some friends and make yourself at home.
