History: In 1916 Greek immigrant brothers Menelaos & George Kaloyanides started the New England Tea & Coffee Company. Originally located in a building at the corner of Milk and Broad Streets in Boston, hand-roasted coffee was delivered by horse and wagon. The first truck was purchased in 1918 and soon after other family members started to join the business. In 1966, after outgrowing several homes in succession, New England Coffee finally settled into their present location at 100 Charles Street in Malden, Massachusetts. Today, New England Coffee occupies five buildings and has hugely expanded their manufacturing and packaging capabilities.
