Good Coffee, Good Chai, Good Company: Why We Love Working with Avid Coffee

At Tanglewood Bev Co, we make our tea blends the way we believe all good things should be made — slowly, intentionally, and with real ingredients. So when we get to partner with a business that holds those same values, it genuinely makes our whole operation feel more meaningful. That's exactly how we feel about working with Avid Coffee in Petaluma, California.

A Sonoma County Original

Avid Coffee has been rooted in Petaluma since 2011, building a reputation for specialty coffee and community hospitality that has earned them the title of Best Coffee in Sonoma County for seven years running. They source exclusively from growers who prioritize sustainable farming practices, and their cafes — in Petaluma and Santa Rosa — have become genuine neighborhood gathering spots.

That kind of track record doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a small business decides, from day one, that quality and community aren't marketing talking points — they're the whole point.

Keeping It Local at Oliver's Market

What we love about Avid's model is that their commitment to local doesn't stop at sourcing — it extends to how they show up in their community. Avid products are carried at Oliver's Market, the beloved independent grocery chain that has been a cornerstone of Sonoma County for decades. It's a natural fit: two independent, community-minded businesses supporting each other and making it easy for local shoppers to buy local.

We think that's a model worth celebrating. When small businesses invest in each other's success, the whole community wins.

Why These Partnerships Matter to Us

Tanglewood Bev Co is a Queer, Portland-based, woman- and AAPI-owned business. We started small — a single pot on a stove, in our cafe, a belief that chai made with whole spices and fresh hand-grated ginger was worth the extra effort. We've grown, but we haven't changed what matters most: the ingredients, the process, and the people we work with.

Working with businesses like Avid Coffee is a reflection of that. They're not just a wholesale account — they're proof that the independent food and beverage world is full of people who care deeply about what they make and who they make it for. That shared ethos is something we look for in every wholesale partner we take on.
