About Ahrre's Coffee Roastery
Ahrre was born and raised in Summit, New Jersey, graduated Summit High School
in 1978, and went out to California to study Theater. He eventually changed
direction and earned his Bachelors Degree in Political Science at the
University of California in Riverside.
Upon graduating from college, Ahrre moved to Berkeley, CA, just outside of
San Francisco.
Ahrre says that he became accustomed to good- tasting, fresh-roasted coffee
while living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The 'Cafe scene' and
coffee-drinking are an integral part of the culture out there."
Whenever he returned to New Jersey, he would bring several pounds of coffee
with him from his favorite Roastery in Berkeley. He needed to bring the
coffee simply to survive the visit, but he also enjoyed introducing his East
Coast friends to quality coffee. As a result, a few of his friends began
playfully calling him "CoffeeBoy!" But after a while, his endless complaining
about the quality of coffee available in North Jersey, became so irritating
to his friends that one of them strongly suggested that he either move back
to New Jersey and open a Coffee Roastery or SHUT UP!
The rest is History!
Ahrre thought about this for a while and decided that such an enterprise
would do well in the Summit Area. So, upon returning to California, he began
working at his favorite coffee Roastery in Berkeley, to learn about the ins
and outs of the business and began planning the logistics of opening his own
Roastery. He originally intended to open the Roastery in Summit -- his
home-town -- but couldn't find a suitable space. Finally, he found just the
spot and Ahrre's Coffee Roastery opened in Cranford on February 10, 1990. Two
years later, Ahrre found an even better spot in the heart of downtown
Westfield, and relocated his Roastery on April 10, 1992.
Since 1990, Ahrre's Coffee Roastery has been providing North Jersey with the
finest "fresh-roasted" coffees available. Then in 1996, the Roastery
established a web-presence and has become the premier source for quality
coffee to discriminating coffee-drinkers world-wide!
