Big Shoulders Coffee
Founder Tim Coonan, a former chef with experience in prestigious kitchens around the world, started Big Shoulders Coffee in his garage about a decade ago. His culinary background brings a chef's attention to detail to every roast, sourcing beans from farmers he has built relationships with. Together with his wife Patricia, they have built a brand that prioritizes hospitality and creating a welcoming "third place" for the community, a sanctuary separate from home and work.
