Brotherhood Coffee, a new drive-through, has replaced the long-shuttered Java Crew in the Chevron station at Commercial and Madrona Avenue SE. Its name is inspired by owners, real-life brothers Israel and Eduardo Garcia.

They opened Brotherhood on January 1 with the goal of offering a premium coffee drinking experience with the convenience of a drive-through. Salem-roasted Odalla beans are the foundation of their espresso beverages and they offer brewed coffee, infused Red Bull, and smoothies, too.

Though Brotherhood is their first coffee business, the Garcia brothers are well-versed in the food industry. Israel owns Paco's Mexican Food, a cart at The Yard Food Park offering tacos, quesadillas and burritos. Just a few feet away, Eduardo is the Eddy in Eddy's Phillys, an Oregon take on Philadelphia cheesesteaks. Before he launched Eddy's in July 2018, Eduardo was the general manager at Original Roadhouse Grill.

To assist in their coffee education, the Garcias hired experienced baristas Cara Craig and Alexandria Taylor, veterans of Dutch Bros and Starbucks taking the lead on Brotherhood's beverage offerings. The drive-through may look casual, but Craig and Taylor take the coffee seriously. They weigh out espresso shots for each drink to avoid sour or bitterness and they taste shots throughout the day.

In addition to beverages, visitors can choose from a selection of vegan doughnuts, pastries and cookies from Dough Hook Bake Shop.

Their goal, especially in offering vegan doughnuts and six types of non-dairy milks Eduardo said, is to connect with customers.

"We want to know them and we want them to know us."

One way they're introducing themselves is by offering three kinds of tamales to go in addition to the beverages and pastries. Chicken with salsa verde, rojo pork, and rajas con queso (jalapeno with cheese) are delivered every other day.

Once settled in, Israel said, they plan to add a second location of Paco's Mexican Food serving a simplified menu in a cart alongside the Chevron station.

For now, Brotherhood is exclusively a drive-through (or walk-up) window without indoor space or seating. It's accessible from either Madrona Avenue or Commercial Street.
