About Us

Our Story

Some of life's best moments begin with a simple cup of coffee. Ours certainly did.

The B.E.S.T. Damn Coffee Roasters was founded by three college friends whose favorite place to meet wasn't a classroom—it was a coffee shop. Two of us grew up in the fast-paced energy of New York, while the third brought the easygoing spirit of Texas and a deep connection to her Ethiopian heritage. Despite our different backgrounds, one thing always brought us together: coffee.

What started as study sessions and long conversations in neighborhood cafés became a tradition that lasted well beyond graduation. Coffee was where ideas were born, friendships grew stronger, and eventually, where the dream of building our own coffee company came to life.

In NY, coffee is more than a beverage—it's part of the city's heartbeat. It's the first stop before work, the spark behind creative ideas, the companion during long days, and the reason people gather, but it was through our Ethiopian co-founder's family and culture that we discovered coffee on an even deeper level.

Today, we're proud to be a women-owned specialty coffee roastery dedicated to sourcing high-quality beans, roasting them fresh, and partnering with cafés, restaurants, retailers, and fellow small businesses across the country. Whether you're brewing your first cup of the morning, serving customers in your café, or sharing coffee with friends and family, we want every sip to remind you why great coffee matters.

At The B.E.S.T. Damn Coffee Roasters, we're not just roasting coffee—we're creating experiences, building community, and honoring the rich traditions behind every bean.

Thank you for letting us be part of your daily ritual. We can't wait to share our next cup with you.
