The Heart of CC's Coffee House

by Paul Claxton, Sr. Director of Operations for CC's Coffee House

National Barista Day on March 1st was more than just a day on the calendar—it was a reminder of what makes CC’s Coffee House truly special: our team.

Every cup we serve is more than just coffee. It’s a moment of connection, a familiar smile, and a commitment to excellence. And behind every guest’s favorite Latte or Mochasippi® is a barista who makes it all happen. At CC’s, our mission is to serve everyone better than anyone else, and our baristas live that mission every day. They don’t just craft beverages—they create experiences. From remembering a regular’s go-to order to making a first-time guest feel at home, their passion and dedication make all the difference.

National Barista Day was an opportunity to celebrate the people who embody our core values:

Be Real – Bringing their authentic selves to work and creating genuine connections.
Be Exceptional – Going beyond expectations with every interaction and every sip.
Be Passionate – Loving what they do and making each guest’s visit memorable.

These values aren’t just words on a wall—they’re the foundation of our culture, and our team brings them to life every day. To our incredible team: thank you. Thank you for your hard work, your dedication, and the energy you bring to every shift. Whether you’re crafting the perfect drink, making someone’s day a little brighter, or keeping things running behind the scenes, you are the heart of CC’s.

We loved celebrating you on National Barista Day, but the truth is—you deserve appreciation every day.
