A Gourmet Destination in the Heart of Valhalla

Founded in 2015 by Richard Cozza and John Cherico, The Twisted Branch is a family-owned tap room and specialty food shop that seamlessly combines premium olive oils, aged balsamic vinegars, artisanal spices, and small-batch gourmet coffee—all under one roof. Located in Valhalla, NY, it has become a local favorite for food lovers, home chefs, and curious coffee drinkers looking for something more than just a morning brew. The Twisted Branch stands out not just for its products, but for its thoughtful curation and immersive, sensory-focused experience.

Coffee Roasting with Culinary Purpose

While most coffee shops treat coffee as the main event, The Twisted Branch weaves it into a broader culinary narrative. Roasted on-site in small batches, their gourmet coffee offerings are crafted to complement the bold, nuanced flavors of their oils and vinegars. Each roast is selected with intention, balancing flavor complexity and freshness to enhance the overall tasting journey. It's not about volume—it’s about elevating the experience for customers who appreciate quality in every detail.

From Tap Room to Tasting Room

The Twisted Branch is more than a roastery—it’s a tasting destination. With olive oil and vinegar taps lining the walls and an ever-evolving selection of imported and local ingredients, customers are encouraged to explore, sample, and discover. The inclusion of gourmet coffee extends this philosophy, offering rich, roasted flavor as part of the same elevated standard. Whether paired with pastries, used in recipes, or sipped solo, the coffee here is part of a larger lifestyle rooted in mindful consumption.

Family-Run, Flavor-Forward

At its core, The Twisted Branch is a family-run operation grounded in passion and integrity. Every product on the shelves is hand-picked or crafted by the owners, creating a level of trust and authenticity that mass retailers can’t replicate. Their coffee program reflects this same ethos: small-batch, deeply flavorful, and curated to complement their culinary roots. It’s a personal approach to gourmet retail that continues to attract both loyal locals and regional visitors.
