As a touring musician for 17 years, Cody began connecting with the communities he visited through their coffee shops and cocktail bars. During his travels through Europe & South America, he noticed the rich community hubs that these public spaces provided, and how that point of connection was lacking in his experience of modern American culture.

So, he sought to create the gathering place that he was homesick for—a space that brings people together using the time-tested ingredients of coffee, cocktails, and music—and Americano Lounge was born.

From his initial inspiration, all the way up to today, Americano has been a labor of love and a project of service. Our goal has never been to set the trends, but instead to listen to our community and meet them where they’re at with the highest quality products, from espresso to hot chocolate to negronis. We start with the time-trusted classics that have won over communities for decades, and combine them with the innovative spirit of jazz to create new riffs that keep us growing, learning, and evolving.

At its core, Americano is a place for people to gather. As Miles Davis famously said, “There are no wrong notes in jazz.” Everyone belongs here, and there’s something for everyone. We hope you’ll join us on the journey.
