Greater Good

Coffee That Creates Opportunity
At Grinding Gears Coffee, we’re on a mission to brew more than just great coffee—we’re brewing purpose, inclusion, and opportunity. Through our roasting operation and coffee shops, we create meaningful jobs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. From sourcing ethically grown beans to serving cups in our community spaces, every part of what we do is driven by compassion and connection. When you support Grinding Gears, you’re fueling more than your day—you’re helping build a more inclusive and purpose-filled world.

Where the Grind Began
In 2018, our first coffee truck rolled out with a bold idea: serve great coffee while creating real job opportunities for people with disabilities. What started in a refurbished delivery truck has grown into a movement—roasting beans, building community, and brewing purpose into every cup.

 ETHICALLY SOURCED
Supporting Farmers Worldwide
We partner with producers who grow high-quality, sustainable beans—paying fair prices and respecting the land they grow on.

ROASTED WITH PURPOSE
Crafted by a Mission-Driven Team
Every bean is roasted in small batches by a crew that includes individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities—providing training, purpose, and pride in every cup.

BREWING IMPACT
Every Cup Creates Opportunity
Profits go right back into creating more job opportunities and launching future community-focused coffee shops. Your daily brew is doing real good.
