Peerless Coffee
We have recently upgraded our coffee. Peerless Coffee is a local family owned company with an excellent reputation for outstanding coffee. “Peerless Coffee and Tea is a 3rd generation family business. The first Peerless beans were roasted in 1924 by John and Natalie Vukasin in Oakland, California. After college (Go Bears!) and a stint in the Army, John's son, George Sr. took over with his wife Sonja. In the 90's two of their children George Vukasin, Jr. and Kristina Brouhard joined the business.” We invite you to come to the club and enjoy complimentary hot, refreshing coffee or tea.
