Bear Creek Coffee

And we, too, have had communications issues with the president, Jeremie Johnson. Usually we are simply ignored outright when we attempt to contact them (I've sent dozens of e-mail & voice messages), but every once and awhile we're fed some excuse of how Jeremie had to attend a week-long funeral, etc. I am currently in litigation with them since they've chosen to not only keep our deposit of $28,500 but also our 2nd phase payment $38,000 without delivering anything whatsoever!

We are suing them with everything we have in our savings, and we've retained one of the better business law firms in Washington DC. Even if we lose money in the end, it is my goal to make sure that this horribly run business does not continue their unethical ways. Something tells me they don't have two nickles to rub together, and that is why they aren't returning our calls. I have a feeling they run their business out of someone's garage.

Don't do what we did. Save your money.

My business partner and I have heard similar excuses from Bear Creek Coffee, flooded offices, power outages, illness, etc, and we decided to terminate our relationship with them because of it. Unfortunately, they are unethically withholding our deposit despite daily calls to Jeremie Johnson. We have since opened an independent cafe that Bear Creek Coffee is threatening to de-rail by holding our money. We are very unhappy customers, this has gone on for months. Buyer beware.

This isn't the first story we have heard of a coffee house that didn't give back a promised refund.

The title says it all - buyer beware.
