LEARN MORE ABOUT "COLLAB FOR GOOD"

Welcome to Coffee (Aside)

Coffee (Aside) is an invitation to take an aside from the day to build community over a cup of coffee. We are part of the Collab For Good network.

All of our coffees are ethically sourced, from small-lot farmers in primarily East Africa, Central America, and South America. We only offer 100% Arabica, Speciality Grade (80+ points) coffee, and it is always fresh-roasted to order. This is as good and as fresh as it gets!

Our aim is to support community/youth organizations.

We give 100% of earnings back to the teams/schools we connect with on traditional fundraisers, and 20% donations for "Dine-out" Fundraisers.

If you would like to discuss custom labeled coffee and/or volume-discounts for your event, PTO/PTA, "Dine-Out," fundraiser, office gifts, teacher appreciation, etc. -- then please contact us at: coffeeaside@gmail.com

Until then, enjoy exploring each of our coffee collections below!

"I shop for Coffee like I shop for Wine..."

Jen, from San Marcos, is by far our best customer. And she admitted something to us - that she initially was drawn to us because of our beautiful iconic oar labels. And since we started spicing up label offerings, she is even more happy, because like she says, "I shop for coffee like I shop for wine -- by the label!" Okie dokie - we both win!

Stewardship matters...

One of our regulars in Southern California sent us the sweetest email! She has been looking for an organic coffee that is perfect for Cold Brew. You can't get that at Starbucks, and she likes the process of cold brewing her own coffee over night. This blend met both of those needs. More than ever, good stewardship of our land is vital, and our organic brew hits home!

"Just breath..."

JC in Vista spent time during college in Guatemala studying Spanish with close friends. Today, fast-forward 20 years, and the busy mom with a full-time job said that this was not just coffee for her, it was an experience. The smell, the flavors - light & nutty - took her straight back in time, to when her days were simpler and carefree. She teared up thinking about "just breath" and it made her day all the better! --> Well, we didn't expect it - but YES!!!

I am so happy."
