About Us

WE LOVE COFFEE, ART AND LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH... WAIT, WRONG PROFILE!

Our Story

The Clever Cup Coffee & More is locally owned by coffee lover Edgar de la O and international jewelry artist Tracy Jones-De Chevron Villette. Edgar spent his 20’s writing scripts and drinking outstanding coffee in New York City, and Tracy relocated to Sarasota after a decade as a jewelry designer in England, France and Tokyo. The two bring their passions together to create this unique cafe and store featuring the area’s best locally roasted coffee and some of Europe’s up and coming jewelers and artists.
