Jumpstart

Partners Coffee was founded in 2012 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn by two childhood friends with a shared vision of creating a space where coffee could be celebrated as both craft and community. From the outset, the company was built around long-term relationships at origin and a commitment to roasting coffees that clearly express the people and places behind them. What began as a local roastery quickly grew into a broader platform for education, hospitality, and connection within New York City’s evolving coffee culture. The opening of its flagship roastery, café, and education lab on North 6th Street marked an important milestone, establishing Partners Coffee as an approachable and social hub for specialty coffee. As the company expanded, so did its network—new cafés, collaborators, food programs, and deeper sourcing partnerships—while maintaining a clear focus on quality and accessibility. Today, Partners Coffee offers a curated lineup of mainstay blends and rotating single-origin coffees, all 100% sustainably sourced. Sourcing is central to the company’s identity. Partners Coffee works directly with producers and exporters it knows and trusts, making structured, recurring purchases that provide predictability and financial stability. Long-term projects such as El Ramo in Colombia and collaborations with Los Volcanes in Guatemala exemplify a vertically integrated approach that supports experimentation, organic farming practices, and community development. Guided by the belief that the business is only as strong as its partnerships, Partners Coffee continues to build a shared coffee culture—one rooted in transparency, responsibility, and mutual growth from origin to cup.
