Founded in 2015 by Chris Vetter, Sail Away Coffee Co. was inspired by Vetter’s experiences touring through Central America as the frontman of New York Hardcore outfit Kills and Thrills. Vetter fell in love with the robust flavors he encountered while traveling and so, after nearly a decade on the road supporting the likes of letlive., Every Time I Die, the Chariot, and more, decided to create his own stage by founding Sail Away Coffee.
After crafting a flavor profile he loved and testing his product throughout the Long Island market, the company launched its ready-to-drink cold brew product line in late 2015. With over 200 retail locations in the region, Sail Away Coffee Co. has become a staple in the NYC area for coffee lovers and novices alike. Anchored on its slogan, “Live Young,” Sail Away pairs its free-spirited approach to flavor with a well-traveled palate.
Sail Away Coffee Co. has been doing its part to keep Long Island and New York City caffeinated for the last 2 years with their unrivaled 24 hour delivery service, in addition to being available in select locations. 2018 promises to see the company expand their smooth, rich brew even further with new products in the works and additional locations – all while providing the same love and attention to detail that went into their very first batch.
They’re thrilled to be bringing coffee lovers their latest product, a canned nitro cold brew, which will be available for delivery starting on March 7th.
