High Point, NC
Queen Coffee Bean roasts coffee beans and serves crafted beverages at its High Point café. Beans ship whole or ground, typically roasted within 48 hours of an order. The signature blend comes from East African farms, and flavored options include Chocolate Cherry, sold hot or iced. The shop also offers gift cards, memberships and subscriptions, and hosts events. Bean selection is intentional, with new growing regions sought out continuously.
Claudia closed her 20-year-old tax business at about 43 and took a job with a major coffee chain. A gratitude journal, prompted by Rhonda Byrne's book "The Magic," shifted her outlook and her drinks. After researching coffee's history and planning for a year, she opened Queen Coffee Bean, naming it for her late grandmother, Queen Esther.
