Ultreya Coffee and Tea opened on College Avenue in 2018, founded by Dani after fifteen years in the coffee industry. During the pandemic she bought a five pound San Franciscan roaster and learned to roast, and the cafe now roasts small batches weekly. She describes a solid program with many choices and bold flavors, and she has followed her sourcing back to producers on trips to a coffee farm in Peru and to Mexico.

The cafe sells fresh roasted coffee by the bag and by subscription, bottles a canned cold brew for other stores, and takes drink and food orders for pickup at its two locations. The College Avenue shop opens at seven and closes at four every day of the week.
