Summit Coffee Co. is a café retailer and roasting company based in North Carolina. We have three company-owned stores, in addition to a roasting headquarters and coffee lab, and we distribute our whole bean coffee across the U.S. Since 1998, Summit has been steadfast in our pursuit of great coffee. We source from small-lot farmers all around the world, making multiple origin trips a year to work alongside our producing partners. After carefully selecting the best coffees from the best producers, and ensuring that we're responsible stewards in the supply chain, we import everything to our award-winning coffee HQs in Cornelius, NC. From here, we roast everything to order in our Certified Organic warehouse. In 2020, Summit is expanding its brand into the franchise business, setting others up for entrepreneurial success by helping them operate their own Summit Coffee locations. Our mission is to approach coffee, community, and collaboration with remarkable hospitality and a commitment to excellence. We're committed to living that, every day, in each aspect of our business.
