El Diablo Coffee Co., 1811 Queen Anne Ave. N., has a new owner as of July 1: Jill Killen, owner of Cloud City Coffee in the Maple Leaf neighborhood, purchased the 12-year-old establishment from the original owner, Terri Sullivan.
“Terri built a great coffee shop and was very connected to the community here,” Killen said in a prepared statement. “I am very excited to get to know the people of Queen Anne!”
Killen said the staff will remain the same and the menu will continue to include Cuban food and drinks. Additionally, Killen plans to expand the food offerings and incorporate some of the Cloud City Coffee favorites breakfast items. The in-house bakery in Maple Leaf will also supply cookies, pies, coffee cake, and coconut bread. The drink menu will expand.
Killen deepened her knowledge of coffee on a recent trip to farms
and plantations in Honduras and El Salvador. She will begin hosting free public cuppings in the near future.
On Thursday, July 12, El Diablo will be the guest barista at the Queen Anne Farmer’s Market and will also host coffee cupping at the Chef’s Tent the following week on July 19. There will be free coffee and treats at Queen Anne Days (July 14th) outside of the coffee shop as well.
“I have invited my Maple Leaf customers to come in and see the new shop,” Killen said. “Queen Anne is a great community and there are lots of businesses to visit around El Diablo.”
