After working in coffee in Boston, Martha's Vineyard, San Francisco, and New York, Will and Kathleen Pratt found a home for Tandem Coffee Roasters in Portland, Maine. With Will's background in carpentry and Kathleen's immaculate painting and sanding skills (plus the occasional libation form their neighbors at Bunker Brewing Co.), they built a cozy cafe and roastery in a beautiful 1930s brick building nestled in Portland's East Bayside. Within their first year and a half, they won a Good Food Award and have an ever growing wholesale and retail business.
