OUR STORIES
Our story began in 1971. Back then we were a roaster and retailer of whole bean and ground coffee, tea and spices with a single store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Today, we are privileged to connect with millions of customers every day in more than 80 markets.

OUR MISSIONS
Our aspiration is to become resource positive, giving more than we take from the planet by storing more carbon than we emit, eliminating waste, and providing more clean freshwater than we use.
We seek to be a welcoming Third Place for everyone while supporting the communities we touch – from volunteering in our local neighborhoods to helping families in coffee- and tea-origin communities.
We invest in pathways to opportunity through education, training and employment; hiring veterans and military spouses, refugees, Opportunity Youth and those formerly incarcerated, and helping them build their futures once they are with us.
