At the beginning when the coffee giant first started out in Seattle in 1971, Starbucks coffee was just three friends with a passion for fresh gourmet coffee, Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker. They opened a small shop and began selling fresh-roasted, gourmet coffee beans and brewing and roasting accessories.
Starbucks coffee was founded by Howard Schultz. It began in Seattle, Washington, and their famous Pike's Peak Roast is named after the first Starbucks' location. You can read more about Starbucks in Schultz' book Onward.
Gordon Bowker, Zen Siegel, and Jerry Baldwin worked together!
