Namesake Coffee was founded from an extreme love of specialty coffee by Michael and Jessica Beans (hence the name). We provide high quality coffee beans, roasted fresh, and delivered quickly. These things are a given, as they should be for any self-proclaimed specialty coffee roaster. However, we also try to find complex and interesting origins. Coffees that keep us up at night because we can’t wait to make another cup in the morning. We strive to pay farmers a fair wage through using fair-trade importers and source organic coffees when available. We think coffee should be an experience of flavors, aroma, comfort, and appreciation. These are our values and what we strive to achieve everyday for our customers.

Namesake Coffee co-founders, Jessica and Michael, met while living in Cairo, Egypt, (an adorable story for another time). And you know how the saying goes… First comes love …then comes marriage…then comes starting a coffee roasting company.

After moving from Denver, CO, to Dayton, OH, the Beans decided to pursue their love of great coffee by starting a small-batch coffee roasting company and on March 15, 2016, Namesake Coffee Roasters, LLC. was born.

Michael and Jessica are passionate about creating a company that promotes goodness within our world. This is why they have chosen to give a portion of their proceeds to nonprofits throughout their area in an effort to support work are already happening around to uplift the most vulnerable in Dayton. Coffee has and always will be about connection, and I know that is a claim that most coffee shops say… but Michael and Jessica are striving to put more than just words into this value, so they use their company to connect and support their local community.
