Anchorhead Coffee: The High-Fidelity "Maritime-Industrial" Anchor for Urban & Innovation Districts. Founded in 2013 by former audio engineers Jake Paulson and Mike Steiner, Anchorhead Coffee (anchorheadcoffee.com) is a world-class roastery and bakery defined by its "Rocker Aesthetic" and award-winning precision. Moving into 2026, the brand has evolved from a boutique wholesale operation into a dominant Pacific Northwest hospitality anchor, celebrated for winning "America's Best Espresso" and pioneering the "Quaffle" (a signature croissant-waffle hybrid). Defined by its moody, "rocker blacks and browns" palette and nautical themes, Anchorhead bridges the gap between a high-end "coffee temple" and an approachable neighborhood hub. For developers, Anchorhead represents a "High-Frequency Community Anchor"—driving consistent all-day foot traffic from high-net-worth (HNW) professionals and residents through its immersive, design-forward cafes that prioritize sustainably sourced, direct-trade beans and in-house, artisanal baking.
