Meet The Owner

Sam began his quest to finding the best cup of coffee a few years after his graduation from West Point in 2006. After much research and trial and error, Sam, Ashley, and George loaded up the Airstream for a cross-country road trip to attend multi-day training. There, Sam learned the art of roasting coffee beans and running a roast house.

Sam wanted to create a coffee so rich in flavor, that folks could enjoy it black.  

The rest is history.

Van Zandt Coffee is Veteran-owned and operated.

Sam's military credentials include: Airborne Ranger qualification, Recon/S Leader, Combat Infantryman's Badge, Expert Infantryman's Badge, and the Bronze Star. Read an interview with Sam and the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial here.
