    Coral Tree Café was founded by Brentwood residents who wanted a dining experience different than what their neighborhood already had to offer. Answering an increasing demand for healthy dining in a casual atmosphere, the concept for Coral Tree Café was born November of 2002. 

    At Coral Tree Café all of our coffees are certified organic, shade grown and fairly traded. Coral Tree Café coffee comes from coffee beans that have been grown under a canopy of shade trees which serves as a natural sun screen and provides a safe and natural habitat for migratory birds and other species. "Fair trade" provides an alternative trade model that keeps small farmers in business by guaranteeing them a fair price for their coffee. These are important aspects to the sustainability of coffee that is better tasting and socially responsible. This reflects Coral Tree Café's commitment to the delicate ecosystem, our customers' health and fair trade practice. 

    As we are committed to the best quality and eco-friendly food and service, we are even more dedicated to the support and development of our amazing team. If you are interested in growing with us and creating a positive community, we'd love to hear from you!
