Randy and his husband, BEACHBREAK Coffee’s other co-founder, Jim Skicki, launched the company a year ago, after both had been laid off from their jobs due to the pandemic. They harnessed their passion for great-tasting coffee to create a business that serves the community they call home.“Fire Island lacks good coffee options,”said Skicki.“We changed that by creating a product you can enjoy during your time on the beach, and then bring back home.” Customers interested in purchasing Pride Roast, or any of BEACHBREAK Coffee’s other six blends, can visit www.beachbreakcoffee.com. Delivery is free to Fire Island Pines and Cherry Grove residents.
