Here's a little bit about us. Our purpose was to create a 1960's California style coffee house. What we ended up with was probably less like they really were and more like I remember them.
All the art on the walls is original, created by my daughter Erin, my wife Gerri and me. Our motto is "Where we celebrate coffee, nature, and folk music". At The Whole Earth Store we have a full espresso bar featuring a full menu of cappuccinos, lattes, mochas and many specialty drinks hot, iced or frozen. We sell whole bean coffee from all over the world, specializing in shade grown, organic, fair trade coffees as much as possible.
We have bulk teas including white, greens, reds, oolongs, blacks, florals, medicinals and herbals. We sell all the necessary coffee and tea peraphanalia. Our bakery features baked good from our own Pink Cottage Kitchen, Edgar's Bakery and Big Sky Bakery in Birmingham.
We serve healthy soups, salads, and sandwiches daily made in our own kitchen by Gerri and Erin. Gerri is an excellent cook and baker. Try her homemade key lime pie, espresso cheescake or oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We use organic flours, lettuce, and as many other organic ingredients as we can get. We are the healthy lunch alternative in Cullman. We can fax you a menu. Call us at 256-775-2944. We also sell a limited assortment of organic and natural foods. We have at least five kinds of organic breads along with wheat free, yeast free and others. We also feature some unusual items like buffalo meat, grass fed and finished beef from a local farm, free range (pasture) eggs, local honey, clay dyed T- shirts from Earth Creations as well as our own shirts, cups and mugs, and other stuff like locally made goat milk and kudzu soaps and more.
Berkeley Bob? I was raised in California, graduated from the Univ of Calif at Berkeley in the '60's worked in forestry for 35 years in the west and south and retired to open the coffee house. I am a Viet Nam vetern, Marine chopper pilot, I spent the summer of love (San Franciso 1967)in RVN, rather than home in the Bay Area where it was all happening, obviously not by choice. The only vices I brought with me from California are folk music, wine making, I grow my own grapes, and organic gardening. The name Berkeley Bob originated with my wife and daughter. Come in and try our coffee drinks, lunches, natural and organic groceries or just hang out with our baristas, Julie, Erin and Chris. They will make you feel welcome and make you a wonderful drink! We are open from 7 AM till 6 PM, Saturday 10-3. on nights we have music we are open later, usually until 9:30 or so.
