About Amy Louis, Founder and Co-Owner:
After graduating from college in 1985, Amy immediately went to work in the coffee industry. Amy’s mother, Marian, could not understand why Amy would go to college “just to work in a coffee shop.” Well, that “shop” was Peet’s Coffee & Tea, where she found her deep-rooted passion for coffee. Amy knew immediately that coffee was not just a job, but a career. In retrospect, Amy was entering on the ground floor of the nation’s trend toward specialty coffee. She learned from this industry's revolutionaries which furthered her desire to continue her career in the super-premium coffee world.
While Amy draws upon her diverse body of coffee knowledge, it is her passion and fierce honesty that are her signature and the biggest asset to her customers. Amy believes that it starts with the farmers and ends with the barista—and how you support those people is what matters.
