COFFEE & CONTRACTS

cffe

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

Our Coffee & Contracts division was created in 2012 after recognizing that during the past 20 years, we had gradually become the insurance brokers and professional advisers to many of the leading US specialty coffee wholesalers and third wave coffee bars, roasters, and importers.

At Coffee & Contracts, we see ourselves as partners with the small and mid-sized coffee businesses that find themselves facing the challenges of navigating through today’s labor and insurance complexities. We bring our years of experience and insight to the world of coffee, with our goal being to expertly serve our clients.

Because of our focus, we provide all of these tailored services at no additional cost, and more often than not, we can assist our clients to save money immediately after performing our cost-free review.
