Yellow Brick Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster founded in 2011 by Anna Perreira, a coffee connoisseur with an appreciation for food, culture, and sociality. Her brother, David Perreira, joined the business in 2014 when they opened their first coffee shop on South Dodge Boulevard in Tucson, Arizona. In 2023, they expanded by opening their flagship shop on North Country Club Road. The company specializes in single-origin, specialty coffee that is roasted on demand. Their sourcing philosophy is built on quality and traceability, with a commitment to understanding how coffee is produced by traveling the globe to learn directly from farmers. Yellow Brick Coffee seeks the best beans and then handcrafts unique roast profiles for each origin to accentuate its best attributes. Their roasting approach combines artisanal techniques with expertly engineered roasting methods to highlight each coffee's unique characteristics. Every package features a roast date and tasting notes, ensuring customers receive fresh, flavorful coffee. Beyond roasting, Yellow Brick Coffee provides superior brewing advisory services tailored to the individual needs of their wholesale and retail clients. Their dedication to quality extends from the farm to the cup, with careful attention at every step of the process from sourcing to roasting to brewing. The company now operates two locations in Tucson: their flagship café at The Benedictine (800 N Country Club Rd) and a walk-up window at the Historic Courthouse downtown. Their products and services have expanded internationally, though their roaster-cafe remains based in Tucson, Arizona.
