“Look down into your cup, what can you tell me about it? Exactly, just as I guessed. In our food-origin-obsessed society, most of us know little about our coffee. What if I told you it started as a seed, became a flowering plant, produced a fruit with a pit, or bean, inside. Do I have your attention now? I bet now that I made you think, you want your coffee organically grown and minimally handled – and only by the highest quality persons with professional integrity – from seedling until it reaches your cup?”

Born with a passion for flavor and hospitality in his soul, Chef Michael Glatz has spent a lifetime working in great kitchens in Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania, California, Puerto Rico, and Florida. He has weaved between kitchen and dining room, dairy farm and cheese cave, vineyard and winery in five different countries. In his youth, he dreamed of owning a neighborhood coffee shop in his elder years where his staff and his customers became family, and he never felt like he was going to work each day. That day has come Vero Beach Florida with your community coffee house, Coffee House 1420.
