Business owner information

Paul O.

Business Owner

In 1992 Paul Odom founded Fonté Coffee Roaster, just as the coffee boom was about to explode in Seattle, Washington. While specialty coffee was becoming more popular with consumers, Odom saw a void in the hospitality market for a high-end product, noticing a lag in exceptional quality and service to chefs, restaurateurs and hoteliers. At age 22, Odom made it his mission to create the finest coffee and espresso blends by setting the strictest standards in coffee procurement and delivery.  30 years later Fonté is still owned and operated by Paul and his family. Described by his peers as possessing a discriminating palate and a passion for the variety of rich flavors found in coffee.  Paul says there is a reason why Fonte coffee is renowned but that is all he will share.
