Our Story — How Coo Coo’s Coffee Became a Small Batch of Friends

Coo Coo’s Coffee didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with late-night “what if” talks, kitchen-table experiments, and a stubborn belief that coffee, tea, candles and comfy gear could all feel like they came from your favorite neighborhood hangout — even if you’re sipping at home.

From First Roast to Full-On Roastery

Before there were bags on shelves, there were tiny test batches, steep learning curves, and a whole lot of “try it this way” notes. Over time, those experiments turned into a small-batch roastery with a clear goal: make coffee that feels personal, not mass-produced.

  • Started with home roasting and taste-testing with friends & family.
  • Graduated to small-batch roasting in Jacksonville, FL — one profile at a time.
  • Built out Coffee Beans & Brews so every kind of coffee human has a place to land.

What “Small Batch of Friends” Really Means

Small Batch of Friends isn’t just a tagline — it’s the filter we run everything through. If it wouldn’t make sense for a real person, it doesn’t make it to the shelf. That’s why you’ll see the same heart across coffee, tea, candles, mugs, and apparel.

Pro tip: If you’re new, start with one coffee you’ll drink every day and one cozy extra — a mug, candle, or tee that makes you smile. That’s the moment when Coo Coo’s stops being a brand and starts feeling like “your” coffee shop.
