About Tastebuds Coffee and Wine....
Tastebuds began as Jiffy Java Espresso in Wenatchee, WA. Their gourmet coffee, delicious unique treats and friendly efficient staff quickly developed a loyal following. Jiffy Java customers wanted a place to sit, relax and enjoy their coffee and one of our loyal customers who suggested Mission Street Plaza as a great location for our second shop. We also decided we needed to add a service that would allow our customers to stay later than normal—so we added a wine list.
About the Owners
As unique as a wine and coffee bar may be, it actually seems the most natural venture for Scott and Alisa to pioneer together when you take a minute to consider the Strutzel’s story.
Scott’s grandparents arrived in Monitor, WA in the 1900s and his family has been in the business of growing Washington fruit since. Alisa is also a local, growing up in Sunnyslope. She opened her first coffee shop, Jiffy Java Coffee Drive-thru, in Wenatchee in July of 2004, and has been waking her many loyal customers up with great coffee and a smile ever since.
Together, Scott and Alisa make a tasty combination. They have joined their passions for coffee and wine to create something that’s both cozy and sexy for all of Central Washington to enjoy: Welcome to Tastebuds Coffee and Wine.
Scott and Alisa reside in Monitor, WA, with their two beautiful daughters.
