Barefoot Coffee Treats Campbell to Another Java Alternative

By Larissa Gomez

The rich aroma of Barefoot Coffee's fair trade, organic, pesticide-free coffee set a warm, yet lively ambiance at the new Campbell business' grand opening.

Customers enjoyed their freshly brewed drinks, free ice cream scoops and admired the colorful art canvases on the walls. Decor includes antique-looking mirrors and the eye catching chandelier.

During the afternoon and evening hours, a DJ spun in the front of the coffee shop and even after it was his time to pack up and go, customers lingered to sit and enjoy the upbeat playlist of music that played as they chatted and sipped their pick-me-ups out of Barefoot Coffees charming white coffee mugs.

Jimmy Zamora, the barista behind the counter, as well as the cheerful young owners, greeted and spoke with customers who passed through.

The shop has been open for a few weeks now and it already has its “regulars” who have made taking a coffee break at Barefoot part of their weekly routines; lucky for them it’s open seven days a week.

“We can build a relationship between our customers, and ourselves, it’s one of the things we take pride in,” says Jessica Marshall, one of the owners.

Her and her boyfriend, Ollie Moore, have always wanted to run their own business and now together they do.

When someone takes a sip of Barefoot Coffee, Marshall and Moore say they hope that “we can properly represent all the way back to the farmer who worked to get it into the cups our customers are drinking from.”
