OUR FOUNDERS
From Zurich to Truckee
Zuri Coffee Co. started as an ambitious plan for owners Esther and Werner Ospelt. Originally from Switzerland, the Ospelts set off on a journey to bring Swiss cafe charm from their youth to their new alpine home by creating the Zuri Coffee experience in Truckee, CA.
Werner has a long tradition in retail and community building. He has served as a general manager and owner of a supermarket chain having brought many innovations to market. Esther has deep family roots in the fine arts and is an honored graduate of the interior design academy in Switzerland.
Together, they created Zuri Coffee Co. to bring a uniquely quaint Swiss experience to Truckee. “I cherish my memories of the Swiss cafes in the wintery Alps.” Says Esther, “We want to do our best to bring that to our beloved new home in Truckee, California.”
Truckee is the perfect place to create the Zuri Coffee experience and it’s the perfect place for everyone to come and enjoy well-crafted coffee drinks and exquisite fresh food. We hope you enjoy Zuri as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing it to you.
