Bay Area third-wave coffee was effectively founded in Oakland when Blue Bottle started in a Temescal potting shed in 2002. The Old Oakland cafe pours the legacy.
James Freeman started Blue Bottle Coffee in a 186-square-foot potting shed behind Doña Tomás in Oakland's Temescal in 2002, roasting single-origin beans in small batches by hand and selling at Bay Area farmers markets. The brand grew to define third-wave coffee in the Bay Area before its sale to Nestle in 2017. The Old Oakland cafe on 9th Street pours the legacy.
