Local Coffee Roaster, Superb Baked Goods, Quality Ingredients, Awesome Sandwiches!

Story

Catalina provides freshly roasted, specialty coffees and coffee drinks from homemade flavors. Unlike many coffee companies of similar size, Catalina doesn’t simply buy and resell coffee from exotic locations and unknown farmers. Catalina goes to the source— hand-selecting coffee from around the world with quality and fairness in mind. Using direct trade importers, they ensure farmers and workers are paid a living wage (and in many cases, have had the opportunity to meet with these individuals themselves), and then bring the amazing coffees that they grow and harvest back to Florida for expert-level roasting. The numerous cafés locations also serve made-from-scratch baked goods and unique made-to-order sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. The company also provides wholesale products such as coffee and tea to other coffee shops and restaurants throughout Florida. Maurice is a certified instructor with the Specialty Coffee Association of America, providing him with the expertise required to present and participate in many conferences, as well as teach other aspiring coffee roasters and baristas proper techniques.
