When David White contemplated the type of business he would open back in 1939, coffee was mostly consumed for its stimulating effect. When White-Kobrick Coffee Company was formed in 1939, the company specialized in office coffee supply, gradually moving into food service.

In the beginning of the 1970's, White Coffee decided to dedicate themselves to a category they would help create: specialty coffee. At the same time, White Coffee's foodservice business expanded dramatically.

Carole White became President of White Coffee Corp in 1992. Jonathan and Gregory White, third generation family members, continue White Coffee's reputation for the finest quality products, innovative products and packaging, aggressive marketing programs, a complete assortment of teas and other complimentary items, and the personal commitment and involvement to insure every customer's satisfaction.
