Caruso’s Coffee

Dominic Caruso, who co-owns Caruso’s Coffee with his brother Michael, has clearly mastered the secret of making unforgettably perfect cups of coffee and tea.

Since 1982, family members have shared their talents as premier coffee roasters, sourcing Fair Trade beans from the world’s major growing regions and meticulously crafting them into tastes to please even the most discriminating palates. Each batch of beans is custom roasted to order, packaged the same day and mailed within 24 hours.

Customers can order the firm’s house blends online and have them shipped directly to their homes. The company also conducts wholesale business with restaurants and coffee shops, as well as with distributors that deliver the products to convenience and grocery stores under private labels. Caruso’s creates an impressive line of specialty teas, too.

“I enjoy being the primary person who does all of our taste-testing and buying of the actual beans,” Caruso says. “I love coming up with recipes for specific customers and experimenting with different flavor profiles and nuances.”

A lifelong resident who’s serving his first term on city council, Caruso is proud of the fact that his family’s roots in Brecksville date back to the 1950s.

“My parents started the company with a little one-pound roaster in a small retail shop on Brecksville Road that evolved into the business we are today,” he says. “Brecksville is definitely home and, as a family, we’re extremely invested in the city’s success. The Chamber of Commerce does a great job of supporting and promoting local businesses, which keeps our downtown vibrant and safe.” carusoscoffee.com
