Coco
Coco, our Head Roaster at Thump Coffee, was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and raised in Baja. He moved to Bend in 2022 with his amazing wife and two daughters and we were lucky enough to have Coco join our team! He loves soccer and motorcycles, he’s an amazing cook and makes great cocktails too. He goes above and beyond with everything he does and his family is the most important thing in his life. We are genuinely grateful for Coco and the quality of his craft at Thump Coffee.
LiV
Liv, our Café Lead at Thump Downtown, brings more than a decade of coffee experience with a deep respect for craft and the creativity behind every drink she serves. What keeps her in this industry is the same thing that keeps us here: people. Liv believes some of the best connections happen across the counter, over a well-made cup, in the middle of real conversation.
When she’s not behind the bar, you’ll find her on a snowboard or out exploring with her fiancé and their two dogs. She has a natural way of making people feel at ease, and we’re pretty grateful to have her.
LeeAnne
LeeAnne, our Bakery Manager, discovered her passion for baking at a young age, starting with weekend cinnamon rolls with her family. With over a decade in the profession, she delights in creating and sharing her joy through baked goods. Outside the bakery, LeeAnne enjoys hiking, foraging for wild mushrooms, gardening, and carving block prints. Her enthusiasm and dedication make her an invaluable part of our team.
