From humble beginnings to top-tier accolades, Isaiah Sheese’s journey in the coffee world has been nothing short of extraordinary. His story took him from pouring cups in small cafes to earning the top spot at the United States Barista Championship and competing internationally at the World Barista Championship.

But for Isaiah, the victories aren’t just about the trophies—they’re about the impact coffee can have on the community. Archetype Coffee isn’t just about exceptional brews; it’s about creating connections and affecting positive change.

Through every cup, every sip, and every story shared in the shop, Archetype Coffee has become a reflection of Isaiah’s journey—a place where passion, dedication, and a sense of belonging come together.

Music has always captivated Tyler Anthony, even as a little boy. “My parents got me my first guitar and I learned John Denver and Johnny Cash on it,” Anthony says.

Growing up on a farm right outside of Gretna, Nebraska, Anthony would feed cows in the morning, sing in his school’s choir, perform in theater and speech, and even play baseball after school.

“There were a lot of dualities to my life as I was growing up,” Anthony says.

A Grandmother’s Gift, A Lifetime of Passion ☕

When Isaiah Sheese was just 6 years old, his grandmother introduced him to coffee. What started as a simple cup brewed with love grew into a lifelong obsession. As he tasted that first cup, little did he know it would be the beginning of something big—something that would not only shape his future but change the way Omaha experiences coffee.

Fast forward to today, and Isaiah’s journey has led him to build Archetype Coffee, a place where passion, skill, and love for the craft come together in every cup. From the first sip with his grandmother to the world-stage victories at barista championships, Isaiah’s story is a reminder that great things start with a spark of curiosity.

“While I don't think that classical music is the only valid nor highest form of art, I do think a life not exposed to the power of an orchestra is a life slightly less well lived, and it is my mission in Omaha to expose as many people to the Omaha Symphony as possible,” says Music Director Ankush Bahl.

What makes the Omaha Symphony stand out? It’s their unwavering mission to connect with every listener, regardless of musical background. With thoughtful programming and an inclusive approach, they invite you to experience the transformative power of live orchestral music.
