In Southern California in 1993, a place for conversation with good coffee was difficult to find. Seeing an opportunity, Mike Perry, the future founder and CEO of Klatch coffee, wanted to bring together the charm and comfort of a traditional coffeehouse and serve world class Specialty coffees. With this aspiration, the award winning Klatch Coffee of today began. Since then, Klatch has worked towards direct and fair-trade relationships, ecological awareness, and reducing their own carbon footprint.
