Featuring a group of guys this week, let’s take a look at our local favorites behind the idea of a diverse culture based coffee shop based in Santa Barbara. So why don’t you sit down and have a cup of coffee as you learn about the masterminds who cultivated an environment of creativity. Led by the visions of a world renown photographer, a professional surfer, and an artist/ entrepreneur, there is no shortage of style, perspective, and collaboration in their work. By the names of these three in the order introduced above, Morgan Maassen, Trevor Gordon, and Tosh Clements, have all contributed to making their coffee shop, Breakfast Culture Club, a sleek, stylized, and personal portrayal of how everyday life is seen through their eyes.
Starting off with the man whose life is seen in the medium of photography, Morgan Maassen has captured the essence of lighting to his coffee shop with an open shade style that is both welcoming and appealing. His ability to bring his modern and visually pleasing spaced out style of clean and dreamy photography into is line of work at the coffee shop shines through his collective display of timeless artwork on the walls. Tosh Clements with a similar direction of focus applies his knowledge of entrepreneurship and abstract lines with his paint brush to add his touch of upbeat out of the box ideas to this coffee shop. Trevor with his understanding of painting his own lines on the endless amounts of waves he rides allows him to contribute to the mass with his own creative endeavors.
Though each of these three are capable of capturing through several mediums of art, in the eyes of a photographer, painter, and surfer essentially, the results of their creations are an endless array of beauty, Together these three main intellects have created a remarkable coffee shop featuring an eclectic mix of visual arts and passion. They continue to connect various artists, photographers, writers, and organizations, including that of Demi Bolsterli and Andrew Schoener, through their experience as baristas in their small town shop that brings creative expression to the forefront.
Connect to these people, experience the beauty in their creative expression, and grab a cup of joe in their local coffee shop @Breakfastcultureclub!
