Award-Winning Cafes and Coffees

About Us

SERIOUS COFFEE. HAPPY PEOPLE.

AWARD WINNING COFFEES SINCE 2003
At Barefoot, we responsibly source the most delicious culinary coffees. Our beans, Cold Brew coffee and cafes have won awards from Food & Wine Magazine, Huffington Post, 7x7 among many others. 

    EXCEPTIONAL BEANS
    Like wine grapes, we seek high quality traceable coffee beans grown in fertile soil, often in higher elevations, with ideal climates. Hand-picked when ripe ensures wildly delicious coffees! 

    COFFEE CAFES
    Our cafes in Campbell and Solana Beach, California offer all of our delicious specialty coffee creations. We curate food and ingredients from the finest artisans, many of whom offer organic, gluten free or sustainable products.  

        SMALL BATCH ROASTING 
        Combining the science of coffee with our expert culinary palates, we roast to order in small batches. This highlights origin terroir and coaxes out the full complexity of flavor that is already present in the green coffee just waiting to emerge and dazzle your taste buds. 

        LIGHT VS DARK ROASTS 
        Our roasts focus more on developing actual flavor notes. Do you really want "smokey" coffee? Black, shiny beans may look good, but it generally means those beans are over-roasted (ie, burnt) and that's what you'll taste. The shiny oils should be on the inside of the bean! 

        DIRECT TRADE 
        As one of the pioneers of Direct Trade sourcing, we buy from the most conscientious producers and select coffees that take our breath away. 

        SUSTAINABLE COFFEES  
        The higher price we pay for our green beans not only help our farming partners earn more money, but educational programs lead to better sustainable farming practices.  

        WILDLY DELICIOUS
        By sourcing the best beans and hand-crafting each roast, we extract flavors like banana split sundae, guava, chocolate ganache, cola berry and thick dollops of plum molasses. Are you craving Barefoot Coffee yet?
