C.S Coffee

An adventure that began in Italy 1883. Our brand builds on what John M. Taranto began when he arrived in New York City in 1912. Born in 1883 in Alicudi, Italy he was the oldest of 12 children. In 1927 John (Giovanni) and his brothers opened the Taranto Brothers Grocery store in upstate New York.

Carrying on the Taranto family legacy is Ian, the great-grandson of Salvatore Angelo Taranto. Ian is an upstate New York native and sponsored athlete.

Monica, who completed a solo 4,000 mile bicycle tour across the USA, is busy training for her next expedition: a 350 mile non-stop self-sufficient foot race across the Arctic Circle.

ChickenSwitch Coffee's unique name has its origins in both of our founders past careers as bike messengers. The term 'ChickenSwitch' was used to describe a certain bicycle mechanism. Since the love of bicycles has been central to their life stories they thought it only fitting to combine it with their love of coffee.

Famiglia is everything.

"Quality and tradition don't die. Quality has helped us to endure for a long time." -Angelo Taranto
