Our Story
Founded in 2019. Honey and Roses Coffee was inspired by the rich coffee culture of Australia, Bali and Italy. Our goal was to recreate the coffee shop experience from the comfort of your own home. All of our coffee is organic, fair trade and sourced from a family farm in Honduras. Each bag is carefully roasted fresh to order and mailed directly to your doorstep. Our mission is to make high-quality, specialty coffee accessible for everyone to enjoy at home.
