Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

We are a specialty coffee house located in the mountains west of Denver, CO. One location in Vail and one in Eagle. Our love and passion for coffee show thru in our latte art skills and the taste of every drink that we serve.

About Me:

I am the owner along with my beautiful wife. Together we started our business almost 5 years ago. We are avid cyclists and passionate about growing our business to serve people everywhere an amazing cup.

About My Company:

Husband and wife entrepreneurs, Nate and Tara Picklo, opened Yeti’s Grind in January 2007. Nate used his construction background to build-out the location while Tara was teaching elementary school. They opened with the goal of creating a community gathering place with not good, but GREAT coffee!

Over the last few years, Nate and Tara have become passionate about coffee and love how coffee brings the community together. Since cycling is an important part of their lives, you’ll find cycling at the core of the business… Team Yeti has been growing since the first year Yeti’s was open with a wonderful group of people making up one unique team!!

In December 2010, Nate and Tara opened a second location in the Solaris in Vail Village and are excited to bring coffee, community, and cycling to Vail!

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The culture behind the coffee and why people are drawn to it as well as the community a well done coffee house can create in a town or area
