Tarrazu Coffee Co. Celebrates Community with 2024 Best of Florida Regional Award
In Coconut Creek, Tarrazu Coffee Co. has quickly become a local favorite, and it’s easy to see why. This independent, family-owned coffee shop was recently crowned with the 2024 Best of Florida Regional Award, a recognition driven by votes from their loyal customers.
Gabriela and Jeff, the duo behind Tarrazu Coffee Co., didn’t always dream of running a coffee shop. In fact, their journey began in careers far removed from the world of coffee—Gabriela in HR and Jeff in IT. But as they approached their mid-40s, they decided it was time to pursue something they were truly passionate about. And for them, that passion was coffee.
“Coffee has always been a big part of our family’s daily life,” Gabriela explains. “We wanted to create a space where we could share that love with others.”
The inspiration for their coffee shop came from their many trips to Costa Rica, where Gabriela’s mother is from. The Tarrazu region, known for its exceptional coffee, left a lasting impression on them. It’s a place where coffee isn’t just a crop; it’s a way of life, deeply connected to the land and the people who cultivate it.
At Tarrazu Coffee Co., they’re committed to sourcing coffee directly from small farmers in Costa Rica, ensuring that every cup is not only fresh but also ethically and sustainably produced. Their coffee is roasted locally, and their menu features single-origin brews and unique blends that reflect the rich flavors of the Tarrazu region.
The community’s response to Tarrazu Coffee Co. has been overwhelmingly positive, leading to their recent Best of Florida Regional Award win. Hosted by GuidetoFlorida.com, the award recognizes businesses that stand out for their commitment to quality and service, as voted on by the public.
“We’re honored to receive this award,” Jeff says. “It means a lot to us that our customers appreciate what we’re doing. We set out to create something special, and this recognition tells us we’re on the right track.”
Gabriela and Jeff’s journey from corporate careers to coffee shop owners shows the power of following your passion. Tarrazu Coffee Co. is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a community hub where people can come together, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and feel like they’re part of something special.
For Gabriela and Jeff, the real reward is seeing the smiles on their customers’ faces and knowing they’re making a difference, one cup at a time.
