OUR STORY BEGAN WITH A DREAM.

 

 
Yellow Spruce continues to serve local communities by connecting people through relationships… one cup at time.
— Brian Fernandez, Founder

A name rooted in stories.

Yellow Spruce is a representation of our personal origins, which began in the Colorado pines and firmly rests in the Arizona desert. Our travels have taken us all over the world in both leisure and service. Our logo, a lone spruce twig shrouded by yellow and green, are reminders of the places we call home. 

We started with a dream and a passion for coffee.

Ah, yes! Each day, people start with a cup of “joe”. Coffee, the beverage that connects people and lifts communities throughout the world.

As former law enforcement and military veterans, we know the importance of patriotism and community. Coffee has always been the mainstay for bringing communities together. We believe in our core values of public service and connecting people, and Yellow Spruce continues to serve local communities by connecting people through relationships… one cup at time.
