The Story Behind the Name

Five years ago, a small sheepdog wandered into our lives. She was a stray—labeled feral, unmanageable, and unlikely to be tamed. But we saw something more. We took her in, and little by little, that “hopeless” dog became the heart of our home.

With her spunky attitude, gentle spirit, and endless resilience, she changed us. She became our comfort, our joy, and our daily reminder of what love and patience can do. In many ways, she inspired everything that came next, including our coffee company.

She is the face of our brand because her story is our story. Her endurance taught us not to give up on ourselves or our dreams, even when they feel out of reach. What was once labeled impossible became family.

Our Mission

we knew we wanted to give more than just great coffee or a place that feels like home. We wanted our work to matter. We wanted to give back in the same way our sheepdog gave so much to us—and in the way we were able to heal and grow together.

That feeling pushed us to look beyond ourselves and ask how we could help others still waiting for love, patience, and a second chance. It led us to reach out to local humane societies, hoping to find ways our company could support and uplift the animals who need it most. Because we believe kindness should always come full circle.

Our Partner Angel Paws

through this goal we found, Angel Paws. A Veterinary Services is Utah’s only veterinary clinic that focuses on providing medical care to homeless pets being cared for by shelters and nonprofit rescue groups. This includes preventative services such as spaying and neutering, vaccinations and wellness visits, as well as treatment for illness or injuries.

Two Businesses. One Heart.
