About Empower Coffee Roasters

Hi! We’re Denise and Zach, the founders of Empower Coffee Roasters. We’re so excited to share with you a little bit about our company and our journey. We started Empower Coffee Roasters with two main purposes: First, to give coffee drinkers an exceptional experience with some of the best coffees around the world; and second, to empower women through education and opportunity. We believe in providing women with the opportunities necessary to succeed, especially in areas like coffee farming and STEM education. We wanted Empower Coffee Roasters to not just be another coffee roastery, but sought for it to be about something greater than ourselves. Our goal is to involve women-owned businesses and organizations in as many facets of our company as possible. We seek to source our green beans from women-owned and run farms, and we respect the coffee value chain by ensuring our suppliers at origin are compensated fairly and are committed to empowering their own communities. In turn, we will use portions of our profits to invest in our own community, and we will work with local women-run businesses to improve our operations. We are also committed to supporting organizations that help women and girls succeed and make their dreams a reality. We hope to hold classes for young girls to get them excited about STEM and work with women who are trying to jump-start their careers. We are excited for you to join us on the journey ahead!Read their story
