Our
Story
The Linea Caffe name, which comes from the Italian for “line,” was inspired by the throughline found in the production of a great cup of coffee—a path that acknowledges every step and every person along the way. It’s this throughline that guides us in making conscientious decisions each day as we work to honor the incredible journey of coffee from each seedling to each cup we roast and serve.
Founded in 2013, Linea Caffe is the latest project of veteran artisan coffee roaster Andrew Barnett, whose expertise is centered in sweetness-forward coffee and espresso, compassionate customer service, and, above all, coffee’s role in bringing people together. Through Andrew’s deep relationships with the world’s most quality-focused coffee producers, we’ve been proud to earn both community adoration in San Francisco and global recognition for our environmentally friendly, award-winning, simply delicious coffees.
Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about what the best farming practices look like, and it’s become clear to us that Organic, Regenerative, and Biodynamic practices not only produce the best tasting coffees, but also do the most for giving back to our sweet earth—a paramount goal as we honor the throughline of coffee.
And while we’ve had a focus on organics since our inception, in 2023 Linea made two important moves towards living our mission: we became a Certified B Corporation, and finalized the transition of our entire coffee inventory to 100% organic offerings. In addition, we are also a certified California Green Business, and are proud to hold this status in the beautiful state we proudly call home.
