Good Morning Mary!

One of the most enduring and influential aspects of gay culture in America has been the delightful sensibility of camp. In eras when gay men faced intense threat of persecution from the vice squad, camp and drag offered coded behavior that allowed individuals to identify each other without risking arrest. A wry celebration of humor and joy in the face of social ostracization, camp and drag reminds us that life is a party to be celebrated! Enjoy this smooth blend of dark and medium roasted beans – it’s truly fabulous!

Red Hanky Roast

Sexual expression and celebration has always been a critical part of gay male culture. In the liberation era following the Stonewall Riots, an ethos of sexual freedom emerged in neighborhoods such as San Francisco’s Castro District and New York’s Greenwich Village that challenged decades of homophobia and sexual repression. This roast celebrates the power of sensuality and sexuality to change our lives and the world. Play safe!

Second Date

Throughout the twentieth century, lesbian communities and cultural networks have flourished and provided spaces for women who love other women. From the turn of the century New England “Boston Marriages,” to the softball leagues of the 1950s, to lesbian separatist communities of the 1970s, these connections have been vital to the emergence of modern lesbian cultures, relationships, and political presence in the United States. One sip of this smooth, dark roast and you’ll want a second date!

Stone Butch Breakfast Blend

Butch/femme lesbian culture emerged in the first decades of the 20th century in the bohemian, working-class neighborhoods of cities like New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Energized by the social changes brought about by WWII, butch/femme culture expanded dramatically in the 1940s and 50s. Butch/femme culture is now part of a tapestry of lesbian identities and contributes to a distinct, vibrant gender system that celebrates women loving women in America. This classic, medium roasted coffee is “untouchably delicious” anytime of day!

Gay Coffee is the intersection of fabulous coffee and LGBTQ history

Gay Coffee is fabulous coffee from farmer cooperatives across the world.

Gay Coffee is the fusion of camp and queer culture – we take common themes and even some stereotypes, we own them and have some fun with them, while complimenting each theme with a piece of LGBTQ cultural and civil rights history.
