Hi! I'm Dawn Pinaud welcome to -

COFFEE-PRENEUR

.....and opening soon Coffee At Dawn our cafe in the woods

COFFEE IS MY SPECIALTY

As specialty coffee consultant, I've worked for beverage-and-bean stores around the globe, developing complete coffee-focused concepts from start to finish.

 

After working for Starbucks in the very beginning (as first employee under CEO, Howard Schultz), I built a career around elevating coffee. And I can proudly say I come with the best references in the industry.

​

Currently, I'm about to launch Coffee At Dawn, a cafe in the woods next door to Mukilteo Coffee Roasters, Whidbey Island, WA. My experience in all things retail and specialty coffee has led to my next adventure here on the island. 

​

Breakfast is served all day from 8:00 am - 3 pm Wednesday thru Sunday.  Fresh incredible baked goods by chef Julie Parrick. Eggs and waffles including gluten-free options are on the menu. There's nothing normal going on with this menu.  Dining in the barn is a wonderful experience. 

​

Come and enjoy a little bit of paradise at 5331 Crawford Road, Langley, WA 98260.

"During my tenure as CEO of Starbucks Coffee, Dawn was employed for about nine years in various positions of increasing responsibility and complexity. She served as manager of four retail locations, most importantly as the founding manager of the company's first espresso bar and café. She left the company to manage the rollout of Il Giornale, the eventual purchaser of Starbucks. I have direct knowledge of Dawn's talent and accomplishments in coffee and in operations. She has been a valuable member of several operations teams. In each, her extensive knowledge and organization created smooth operations and significant value for herself and the companies. I highly recommend her work."
