W. James Freeman founded Blue Bottle Coffee in the early 2000s in Oakland’s Temescal District. Freeman borrowed the name from one of Europe’s first cafes, The Blue Bottle Coffee House.
Coffee has gone from the basic beginnings of a 7-Eleven convenience store to gourmet high-end retail boutique coffee shops including Starbucks which propelled the coffee culture revolution.
