e know it as morning mud, jitter juice, or a cup of motivation. We drink it leaded or unleaded, and recite our selfproclaimed formulas for sugar, foam, iced or hot. Today we’re celebrating all things coffee and those who demand the perfect cup. For Craig and Marlo Quillin, moving from the Bay area to South Lake Tahoe included the stipulation of good coffee; uh, make that superior coffee. Unable to locate a great “cup of Joe,” they did what any coffee aficionado would do; opened their own roasting house, cafe, and store. With that, Clyde’s Coffee Roasting Company was born in Stateline, NV. Upon opening their doors in spring of 2017, success was immediate as locals and visitors alike were also seeking an impressive cup of java. “Everyone welcomed us. We went to ‘coffee school’, did a lot of homework, and continued to perfect the roasting process. It really is an art. We insisted on opening our business with the highest standards and a great customer experience,” shared Marlo.
