Our story began in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2012 with two childhood friends who wanted to create a place to celebrate coffee. At the core, we started with a commitment to source coffee through lasting relationships and roast quality coffee that highlights those as they should be. We opened our flagship roastery, education lab, and cafe on North 6th Street to create a space for coffee that is fun, approachable, and social. As our community grew, we did too: new spaces, new partners, new food, new relationships at origin, and of course, new coffee. Since then, our partnerships with farmers, producers, baristas, roasters, businesses, and customers have helped us to grow and nurture a shared coffee culture and experience in the city and beyond. We believe that we’re only as great as the sum of our partners. As partners in coffee, we thank you for being part of our journey, shaping our community, and helping us become who we are today. Partners Coffee is built on the strength of our lasting relationships at origin. We source coffee from around the world from people we know and trust—to produce beautiful coffee, and be the greatest stewards of the land they grow upon. We focus on relationships. We aspire to purchase from the same producers and communities year after year and to work directly with producers when possible. Our goal is to promote mutual, long-term success through communication and shared growth. Maintaining strong relationships at origin allows Partners to offer blends with a consistent flavor profile while celebrating talented producers through their seasonally rotating single origin menu. We believe in comprehensive purchasing. Even the best coffee farms produce a spectrum of quality. We consider this and strategize large, meaningful purchases—where we buy microlots and seek dependable volume coffees. Through the careful purchasing of non-commodity priced coffee, Partners builds secure supply chains that enable farmers to invest in local communities.
