The Pinery Coffee Co.

The Pinery Coffee Co. started as a vision Daniel and Andrea Tyler had in the summer of 2021: a place in Wausau where the community could gather, connect and be refreshed, by great coffee and by a real sense of purpose. The dream soon grew too big for one family, and Nolan and Christine Baker joined, with Nolan bringing the business backbone to sustain it, followed by Len Kats, who helps keep the business well run and rooted in its mission. The Pinery opened in 2023 in downtown Wausau, and every bag is roasted right there, with no middleman and no warehouses. The house lineup includes the dark Riverside Blend, the signature Wanderer Blend with caramel, toffee and dried cherry, and a medium-dark single origin Brazil, all roasted to order in 12 oz bags. The shop partners with local nonprofits, gives a portion of its proceeds to causes around Wausau, hosts events, and supplies wholesale customers.
