Welcome to the 2008 Western Regional Barista Competition!

Pacific Bay Coffee Co. & Micro-Roastery is proud to be this year’s host of what has grown to be the largest regional competition in the country. We are especially excited to host this year’s competition in Berkeley, well known as a cultural and culinary center, and perfectly aligned with our mission to bring a greater awareness of the specialty coffee industry to the public. This event would not have been possible without the contributions from our 100+ volunteers, 50+ sponsors, 16 roasters, 30+ judges, and 36 competitors—to all of whom we extend our deepest thanks.

Since 2004, Pacific Bay Coffee Co. and our crew of passionate coffee aficionados have offered a unique coffee experience at our independently owned and operated specialty coffee house and roastery in Walnut Creek. All of our coffees our sourced for their unique character and quality, and are roasted in small batches to ensure freshness and accentuate flavor. Our new Berkeley facility offers a wholesale coffee and barista training program designed for cafes, bakeries, and restaurants. We hope you’ll come visit us soon!
