Our Story
WHY WE ROAST:
A Love for Coffee, Community & Conscious Choices
Specialty coffee has a bad habit of being "too serious" and consequently scaring people away. The reality is, life is too short for bad coffee!
Our goal is to create a fun, family-friendly coffee experience for our community. We've been hyper-focused on building our presence in Santa Rosa, because this is our home.
We source and roast excellent coffees and share them with fun, not-too-sweet specialty drinks. You can also purchase our beans at Oliver's Market and find us in several local restaurants!
We also host educational workshops for anyone interested in learning more about quality, origins, and how to make better coffee at home.
OUR VALUES
Coffee really shouldn't be that serious - we want you to feel welcome and give you the best possible cup of coffee, with a side of fun.
We source our beans from small producers and women-led farms and cooperatives.
The best coffees are those shared and enjoyed with friends and family!
Community is non-negotiable:
"No (wo)man is an island entire of itself; every (wo)man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main" - John Donne
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hi! My name is Mary, and I started Lovey Coffee Company here in Santa Rosa in 2023 and I’ve been in the coffee industry professionally for a decade!
While I started drinking coffee when I was 3 years old, my real coffee journey began in 2016 when I first became a barista. I fell in love with coffee and became fascinated with its history, production, and consumption.
I have traveled to several producing countries to learn more about where this magic little bean comes from, and I’ve explored coffee in its many forms around the world. I continue to grow and learn about this little bean, and I would love to share my passion with you!

As a Sonoma County Small-Batch Roaster, I am dedicated to bringing you not just incredible coffee, but also the knowledge to enjoy it to its fullest.
