Javier Acevedo
Trainer, Blue Bottle Coffee
Javier Acevedo has been with Blue Bottle Coffee since 2015, working his way from Barista to Cafe Leader to Trainer. His two passions are hospitality and teaching coffee so there isn’t a place he would rather be than at Blue Bottle. Nothing makes him happier than a berry pound cake and a Three Africas pour over. When he’s not talking coffee, he spends his time saving stray kittens and playing chess.
Yi-Ling Yang
New Cafe Opening Leader, Blue Bottle Coffee
Yi-Ling has been with Blue Bottle Coffee since 2014, working her way from Barista to Cafe Leader to New Cafe Opening Lead. She got the coffee-loving genes from her mama, and cafes always remind her of her family in Taiwan. As a former student of interior architecture, she’s happy to have the perfect combination of her passions in her work at Blue Bottle. When not obsessing over straight lines inside a cafe, you can find her picnicking in San Francisco parks and petting strangers’ dogs.
