OUR JOURNEY…
Our journey with coffee is rooted in a profound appreciation for every detail that goes into creating an experience. For us, coffee is much more than a daily ritual; it’s a blend of artistry, science, and culture that we savor at every step. This passion for coffee goes beyond taste; it’s about the connections and community that form around each cup, making every sip a shared experience.
Our story with Richard’s Coffee began with Koreen’s first sip and a spark. As a young girl, Koreen discovered $20 on the ground and insisted her parents let her spend it on coffee—on one of the hottest days of the year! That passion only grew, and as soon as she turned 16, she joined the team at Richard’s Fine Coffee as a barista. Four years later, she had mastered her craft and met Jimmy, who would eventually become her husband. Together, they dreamed of one day owning a coffee shop that felt as special as Richard’s.
Over the years, we stayed connected with the previous owner, Dave Tuttle. Jimmy, who worked at a local car dealership, sold Dave several cars, and each time, he carefully mentioned our hopes to take over Richard’s one day. When the time was finally right, Dave reached out, and we jumped at the chance. Today, we’re honored to carry the torch for Richard’s Fine Coffee, infusing every cup with the same warmth, quality, and community spirit that first drew us in.
Today, we’re thrilled to pour our hearts (and the perfect cup of coffee) into Richard’s Coffee. For us, it’s a place where community gathers, connections are made, and memories are shared over handcrafted drinks. With our daughters, Rylee and Laycee, by our side, we’re proud to carry on the torch of quality, warmth, and welcome. We invite you to come by, share in our story, and become part of the Richard’s Coffee family. We can’t wait to share our journey with you—one cup at a time.
