Why 151?

It's our founder's favorite temperature for a hot latte, and it's the temperature we steam our milk to. Still hot, but you won't have to wait for that first sip.

History of 151 Coffee

151 Coffee is a whole new coffee concept started in 2017. 151 Coffee is founded and funded by Mark Wattles, who has founded and financed multiple national $100MM to $2B companies, including restaurants, B2C online companies, and a 2000 store retail chain that opened a new store a day at its peak.

Now what makes a successful entrepreneur decide to start one more company? Mark created 151 Coffee as a place for the next generation to not just have a job, but as an entry point into what could be a long-term career; to create growth opportunities through mentorship and on-the-job development, and ultimately show our team that you don’t have to have a college degree in order to earn a six-figure income.

Leveraging the experience of our founder and the 151 Coffee Team, we are set to grow rapidly and create new opportunities for our teams while never forgetting our #1 mission: to have fun!
