our story in our words

The brain child of two twin sisters, with a passion for coffee and community. A 100% Woman Owned company. At Unapologetic Coffee Co. we aim to provide small batch, roasted quality coffee direct to consumers as well as small businesses. Specifically, looking to integrate our brand message within local prospects at the traditional and non traditional markets. Fresh roasted coffee on a micro level that focuses on the social responsibility of ethnic diversity and representation.

to say we've been drinking coffee since we were kids would be a complete understatement. we remember sneaking sips at 3 years old!

we come from a very diverse, close knit family. our love for coffee started with our grandma who we call "tayta," (pronounced "thai-ta") in lebanese. she taught us to share what we know with the community around us.

for our family, coffee is an experience, a cornerstone of discussion. whether it's after the hardest day or the best day of your life, you'll always hear someone asking "is there coffee on?" we welcome everyone to our family.

🚨📣Announcement: WE’RE CLOSING!!📣🚨 Pause…..Not exactly what you’re thinking! After a great Sunday win, we thought we share some big news! As we approach our 3 year anniversary we’re officially closing our cafe 1375 Main St. and moving to 899 Main St, located inside the brand new Best Self Building! What does this mean for our UC family? We’ve decided to separate our roasting facility and cafe to allow us to expand the beans and production in the new year! So our flagship location isn’t closing for good, but will be transformed in the new year! But baby, our newly located cafe has been built from the ground up and comes with an updated menu and all your current favorites! Finishing touches in the next couple of weeks and we can’t wait to show you all! Our mission has always steered us to provide access to great coffee for everyone, regardless of socioeconomic barriers. Our production expansion and cafe relocation is finally here (after many setbacks)! Our last day of operation at the current location was today so we can break the cafe down! Thank You to everyone who’s supported us from the beginning. Talk about dream come true! We intend to announce the grand opening details later this week! Make sure to follow us for details! And FYI we’re still shipping bags as normal so ordering online is available! #stayunapologetic 🎥 @biz.buffalo . . . . . #uanpologeticcoffee #buffalony #buffalo #gobills

💗 Check Your Coffee Beans & Your Health 💗⁠ ⁠ Hey ladies, a gentle reminder as Breast Cancer Awareness Month wraps up—make sure you’re checking your coffee beans…and yourself.⁠ ⁠ Earlier this month was a personal journey for me. After discovering a lump, I faced a period of uncertainty and fear. I’m beyond grateful to share that I received a cancer-free result. But not every woman receives that same relief. Thankfully I have two amazing doctors in my corner who took immediate action to help me navigate through this process. ⁠ ⁠ Thank You to Dr. J'Liese Sosa with @generalphysicianpc and Dr. Kenyani Davis with @chcbuffalowith, for the incredible care and support to help navigate this process. Additional gratitude to the staff, nurses, and doctors at @roswellpark for the level of care and attention shown to not only myself, but everyone who walked through the door. ⁠ ⁠ So as we close out this month of awareness, remember: check your coffee beans and your health. Prioritize those routine exams. Your body (and your loved ones) will thank you. #StayUnapologetic 💖⁠ ⁠ -Alicia

Just out here doing the lords work! Rain or shine! Will we see you today?

At approximately 2:30 on May 14, 2022, a heavily armed white supremacist, entered Tops Markets located on Jefferson and E. Utica, in Buffalo, NY. In a matter of minutes, this gunman killed 10 honorable community members and injured 3 more. As we look at the 2nd anniversary of that tragic day, remind yourselves of the legacy of the 10 individuals who lost their lives and what they stood for. Regardless of race, we all matter in this world. 🖤

Happy Mothers Day to our favorite taste tester, biggest cheerleader, best mom two twins could have asked for! Thanks for pushing us to follow our dreams and helping every step of the way! We love you Tracy Michelle! #UnapologeticCoffee #StayUnapologetic #HappyMothersDay #Mom

When we set out to create #UnapologeticCoffee we made a commitment to not only bring the best coffee, but continue to highlight black and brown across the world.
