What is your primary product or service?
Larry's Beans is happily committed to blending and roasting innovative uniquely delicious coffees
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Raised in the land of espresso bars and local roasters, Larry grew up with love for coffee and an appreciation for the nuance that make one cup more interesting than another. He headed to the Southeast to attend graduate school in economics, but soon got sidetracked by his obsession with coffee, working as a roaster in Raleigh's first coffee house and then starting his own coffee house and roastery. But his love of roasting soon led him to focus full time on the roasting business. From the start, he was all about taking time with his roasts and treating blends like his own drinkable art form. He wasn't just about good coffee. He was about unique coffee.
