FROM COLLIN:
Time flies! It's been four years already! We're celebrating our BUFFDAY today.
When our group assembled in spring 2021, we had no idea what we'd be getting into. The pandemic still had businesses shuttered, with some cities across the country slowly reopening. Our shift from an actual West Hollywood storefront to e-commerce was a smart business move. The area saw crime at commercial properties increase. Rising rents saw many local hotspots close permanently. A triple whammy: corona, crime, rent.
Our team bonded like no other because, well, when you live with each other you're practically forced to get to know each other. Living in Buff Loft -- our parent company's former broadcast building -- has been an incredible experience. We live, work and play in the community and it's a perfect arrangement. (It's just a bitch to call in sick or roll in late since we live at work!)
Working with the guys and our amazing bosses has been a wild experience. We've grown personally and professionally. We owe so much to our leader, Boss 1 -- the feisty Canadian -- who's mentored us and helped us become better businesspeople and also models, since he now manages each of us -- and ensures some of us maintain our perfect dimples. Thank you to Boss 1 and 2 for all they've done.
And to all of you who drink the coffee and follow along on Instagram and play in Club Buff, thank you for your ongoing support. Thanks for putting us in your mouth day after day after day.
FROM DREW:
It's me, the packing one. How's it going today? I'm the opinion columnist who pisses off a lot of you with my controversial comments! I love it. I'm glad we have a platform where we're free to express our opinions and you can also share yours. We keep things civil and enjoy a lively debate, and I really think the world needs more of that right now. We don't have to agree politically or socially or even emotionally, but we're entitled to say what we think, feel what we feel, and live what we live. Thanks to all off you who chime in on the Drew's Views column. And we all appreciate you loving the Buff coffee and tea. Can't forget about that since that's the OG Buff product. We've had a great time making the different flavors, blends, roasts and combos. We love getting your feedback on that stuff, too. Keep it coming!
FROM LEO:
Bom dia and Happy Birthday for the Buff Boys Coffee. Is Leo from Brasil. I will like for say thanks you to the people that will have the Buff Boys coffee. Is special when you share the nice words about this. When I come to America for this I was scare because my English and is new country. I will live with stranger and no speak this language. They has help me learn and is become my brothers.
FROM GABE:
Howdy, Buff lovers. Thanks for spending your days with us. When we heard about Club Buff in November, all of us -- yup, every one of us -- was scared shitless because we're not writers, we don't think we're creative and we felt the pressure considering our boss is a bestselling author and the entire company in Canada is about content production! We've got through four months so far and you seem to like what we're doing and we appreciate that!
This coffee thing is really fun. I'm the newest on the team, but still been here a couple of years. It's been the same group since the beginning and from the moment I met the guys, it was instant chemistry. We're all different personalities but somehow we just click. (And maybe after all this time we're catching some of each other's traits and passing them along!)
Shoutout to the people who recognize us in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. You've spotted us in restaurants and at the gym. You could cause a bit more of a scene though so people think we're a big deal! Selfies are cool, too.
Thanks for being with us and coming along for the ride!
FROM BEN:
Hello to my foodies! My two passions are food and coffee so it was a miracle to land this gig creating coffee and now with Club Buff, creating recipes for my food feature. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on the recipes and also your suggestions for tweaking things here and there. I'll admit, I've even revamped a recipe or two after some of your messages. If you have any ideas for a coffee-inspired dish, let me have it! I'll figure out a recipe and post it here.
I dont live with the guys at Buff Loft so I'm not part of the daily silliness. I get my fill on the phone and video chat. I do enjoy our poker nights but can't tell you much more than that since there is a code of silence.
We appreciate the love you give us. The coffee has taken off, Club Buff is slowly picking up traction. Things are looking up! We couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for being with us!
FROM TANNER:
Greetings from Palm Springs. Shoutout to my PS peeps! This is my primary region for getting Buff Boy in your mouth. We've been having a great time over the past four years. Who knew the little online coffee shop would turn into a freakin' reality show with all the Instagram stories (and storylines) and now Club Buff where we get to show off our hobbies and interests.
I've been a travel nut for years so to be asked to be the tourist for this app was a blessing! I'm surprised how many of you have checked out the places I have. We're bonding over our shared experiences! (And yeah, you should be jealous about the VIP access they hook me up with for the activities!)
Let me know where you're headed to this summer and what I should check out next. I've got a bunch of Canadian content coming soon and I can't wait to share it with you throughout the summer.
Happy BUFFDAY!
FROM RANDAL:
Shoutout from the gossip page! What a dream! I'm paid to drink coffee, take off my clothes and write gossip columns about my co-workers. Does life get any better??
We appreciate your continued support of everything we're doing. From the coffee launch in 2021, to the addition of the tea collection last fall, to the Club Buff app this spring, it's been really fun creating everything and hearing what you think. Sometimes we get it right on the first try, other times we need a tweak. But we eventually get there and that's all that matters!
Happy 4 years with us. Here's to however many more!
