Hi! I'm Patty. I am the Founder and Editor in Chief of Local Coffee Talk Magazine and the podcast host of Local Coffee Talk podcast where we bridge the gap between coffee professionals and coffee enthusiasts.

In everything we do, life is about creating memorable experiences with those who matter most. Specialty coffee shops inspire the connections we crave.

At its core, Local Coffee Talk celebrates all things specialty coffee. This magazine and podcast spotlights the hidden gems, innovative leaders, and inspiring stories shaping the specialty coffee landscape. Our mission is to unite and inspire coffee professionals and enthusiasts by sharing the stories, tips, and triumphs that make specialty coffee a beloved cornerstone of culture and community.

The Magazine: This quarterly publication features stories and practical resources for coffee professionals and enthusiasts. Each issue focuses on a central region or city and be presented to local tourism boards and chambers of commerce.

The Podcast: We interview coffee leaders, shop owners, and roaster owners. This is a conversational platform where coffee leaders, shop owners, and roasters can share their insights, experiences, and passion.

Together, these platforms create a holistic experience for coffee and travel lovers, whether they prefer flipping through glossy pages, tuning in during their morning commute, or both.

Why Local Coffee Matters

At Local Coffee Talk, celebrating and supporting specialty coffee shops and roasters is more crucial than ever. By sharing their stories and offering practical resources, we hope to contribute to the resilience and vibrancy of the specialty coffee industry.
