Coffee Cultures was founded in 2013 by entrepreneur Jason Paul, who previously co-founded the San Francisco establishment Coffee Bar. The brand is documented for its focus on global coffee traditions and its early role as one of the first West Coast outposts to serve Counter Culture Coffee. While the company operates retail locations and a mobile espresso catering service, it sources its private label coffee through partnerships with roasters such as Mr. Espresso. The brand is recognized for its aesthetic focus on early 20th-century travel themes and its signature menu items, including affogatos made with Straus soft serve.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-18. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. I could not verify any current operations in Miami, Florida, as the brand's website only references a past location in San Francisco, and the provided URL does not contain information about a Miami presence.
