Relationships from Seed to Cup

We believe in investing in relationships from seed to cup. We buy coffee directly from farmers to ensure that they receive top dollar for their hard work and quality coffee. We have developed friendships over the years with our farmers and take pride in working with such driven, hardworking people. We prioritize working with women in the coffee industry because of their willingness to provide economic and educational opportunities to enrich and advance their communities. Angèle Ciza, the Kalico owner in Burundi, says, "If you want to develop Burundi, you develop the women."

We roast our coffees in small batches at our Roasting Haus, located in Over-the-Rhine. We honor the hard work put into each bean by the farmer by carefully roasting each coffee with an unhurried attention to detail to bring out the unique nuances and rich flavor of coffees from Central and South America; Africa and Indonesia

Our most important relationship is the one we have with our customers. Our team members will do their best to provide our guests with a coffee experience that is unintimidating, inclusive, genuine and uplifting. We want everyone to have a cup of really good coffee, whether you are a fellow coffee snob, a casual coffee drinker, or just starting to dip your toes in this amazing world of coffee.
