Coffee People and Jim & Patty’s…a little history?

Haven’t been to Portland in a long, long, long time, but a long, long, long time ago I used to love the Coffee People coffee. I know Diedrichs has it now and Coffee People coffee can still be purchased

but was it the name or the people behind it that made it so popular and beloved?

Considering there are many comments between 2003 and 2009, it still strikes a chord in coffee drinkers! Next time I’m in the Portland area, I’m going to see if Jim and Patty’s Coffee still serves the joe as I remember. But then again, do a search for ‘jim and patty’s coffee’ and you’ll get multiple merchant sites with incredible reviews. Wish SoCal was a little closer to Fremont St…
