Who We Are + Mission
We are a women-owned coffee roastery that wants to empower others from marginalized communities. Diversity and inclusion do not happen by accident or luck. We value, respect, and support diversity across all identities, including ethnicity, race, gender, LGBTQIA, age, religion, and abilities. Our goal is:

Increase awareness and enjoyment of our coffee. We want to share ethically sourced coffee with coffee lovers in SE Wisconsin and N Illinois.
Make coffee that delights our customers.
Fuel the excellent work in our communities by providing these organizations with all the high-quality, freshly roasted coffee they need. We donate $1 worth of coffee from every coffee bag sold to our non-profit partners.

How do we move thoughtfully? Our values + culture:
Assume positive intent. This means assuming the best in others; we are all busy, complex humans with lots going on that can show up in our day-to-day working days.
Be Kind to customers and yourself.
Doing epic sh#$t. We are on a mission and have big visions. Part of doing things differently is encountering obstacles and challenges. We are problem solvers who love creating systems and solutions to achieve these goals.
Always be growing. We want to approach coffee with an out-of-the-box mindset and bring our best selves to our work. Growth is part of the process.
Work your strengths. As we grow, working to your strengths is essential. We believe in communication, setting clear goals and expectations, and encountering challenges and problems together.
Resting is important. The world puts such urgency on so many tasks. Better work is done when we care for ourselves and have realistic boundaries and expectations.
