Have you ever looked on craigslist to buy an espresso machine, but ended up buying a coffee shop instead? That is the story of Brewpoint Coffee. In the summer of 2014, Melissa found a coffee shop on craigslist and within a month purchased it with her 6 month boyfriend. Now, Melissa & Angelo are married and have 3 coffee shops, a wholesale roastery, an event space, and a book launching this Fall called "How to start and run a coffee shop". Our mission is build a better world through coffee. That means building a business structure that empowers staff, empowers partnerships, and inspires the community to do good.

At Brewpoint we take the time to make sure we hire the right people who share our priority for community building and have a passion for good coffee and great customer service.
