Our Story
About
How we got our start
Abdul Rafay’s love affair with coffee began during his travels through Ethiopia’s coffee highlands, where he witnessed farmers handpicking beans with generations of expertise. Inspired by their dedication to quality, he returned home with a dream to share that same passion for exceptional coffee.
In 2019, we opened our doors with a simple mission: serve coffee that honors both the farmers who grow it and the community who enjoys it. From our humble beginnings to becoming a neighborhood favorite, we’ve stayed true to Abdul’s original vision – quality beans, careful roasting, and genuine hospitality in every cup.
