12 Years of Craft

From a Garage Dream to Your Daily Ritual

Velvet Bean began in 2012 when two friends, obsessed with the perfect cup, started roasting beans in a garage. What started as weekend experiments became a mission: to bring extraordinary coffee to everyday moments.

Today, we work directly with farming cooperatives across three continents, paying fair prices that support sustainable livelihoods. Every batch is roasted in our Brooklyn facility, where our master roasters coax out flavors that tell the story of the soil, climate, and care behind each bean.
