We care about people, the place where we live, and making exceptional ethically traded coffee.

In our kitchen at the base of Rocky Butte, an often-overlooked neighborhood of Northeast Portland, we were experimenting to brew our perfect cup of coffee. Not satisfied with options on the grocery store shelf, we began sourcing coffee beans from around the world and roasting with a small batch roaster in our garage. As it turns out, the coffee wasn't just our favorite—our friends and family loved

One of our customers, Kate, took this photo just outside our door the other day. Double rainbow!

“Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” - Mother Teresa

This is Brenda. She works for the PIRC, providing support for our Portland neighbors who have appointments at the ICE facility in downtown Portland. Brenda shows up every week, along with many other volunteers, to make sure those neighbors are not left alone during a time of huge upheaval in their lives.

Brenda does great things.

Our small thing: the coffee she's holding in her hands. We can't be there every day to walk with our neighbors who are struggling, but we can make sure they have something warm to drink every day.

What is your small thing you can do with great love?

So, James turned on the oven Sunday morning and the outlet started smoking... He determined he should PROBABLY turn the oven off, and ALMOST closed for the day—how do we stay open without an oven? But then he improvised! Thus the hand-written, off-the-cuff menu.

(P.S. Our oven is fixed!)

Thank you for the picture of Lily delivering your coffee 😆 While the roads and sidewalks were pretty sketch, we know that coffee is an important part of peoples day. We always want to do our best and had a lot of fun getting deliveries done.
