“I’ve searched far and wide and this is the place to get your cup or bag of greatness if you happen to be a true coffee aficionado.” — Jacob Y.


NO ROBOTS. JUST PEOPLE.
You should know who's choosing and roasting your coffee. No algorithms here.
It’s a small group of real people in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky who love finding and making great coffee and care about sharing it with you.
It’s our founder, Nathan, four operations team members, five roasters, four cafe managers, and 42 baristas.
Some of us have worked in coffee for years. Others discovered their passion more recently. What we all have in common is this belief that coffee should bring people together.
We’re doing our best to deliver coffee that connects people.
“The best tasting pour over coffee on this planet.” —Kelsey B.

ROASTED LOCALLY BY US
We roast all of our coffee ourselves, right here on Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky.
Our roasters arrive before dawn, when it’s still cool and quiet. They know the difference between a good cup of coffee and an exceptional one lives in hundreds of small decisions.
Roasting in small 45-pound batches by hand means each batch gets the kind of attention that big commercial coffee companies simply can't afford to give.
Justin, our head roaster, and his team of four are paying attention to the temperature, airflow, and the smell.
They’re listening for a distinctive “crack” of the beans that tells them right when to stop to lock in the best flavors for your coffee.
“One of the best coffee roasters in the country and beautiful shops. Worth a visit.”—Crema Guru


HAND-PICKED BY FARMERS, HAND SELECTED BY US
Over 11 million tons of coffee is grown every year across the world. Less than 15% of that meets premium specialty grade coffee standards. A fancy way of saying the best of the best. (And the only kind we buy.)
From that rare tier of 15%, we source and sample over 100 exceptional coffees every year.
And from those 100, we pick around 20 of the best to serve and ship to our customers.
It's like having your own personal coffee sommelier.
We do all this so you can enjoy exceptional coffee every single day.
"Excellent coffee and excellent sourcing. A place that loves wonderful coffees, the best the world has to offer." —Preston S.
Our Bestsellers
The ones people keep coming back for.
BLACKSMITH
The F1 car of our lineup. Our signature espresso that folks enjoy in every latte, cappuccino, and cortado in our cafés.
INKWELL
The daily driver. Our classic house blend that's on drip at our cafes from open to close. Loved by regulars for 17 years.
SOUTHERN GOTHIC
Our cold brew blend crafted for our customers who prefer their coffee chilled.


TASTE-TESTED TWICE A WEEK
Every coffee gets tested, tweaked, and perfected every week until we run out of it.
When we find something wrong — and we do — we dump the whole batch and start over.
We do this to make sure you get the absolute best flavors and aromas from every coffee you get from us.
“If you love regular ol coffee but not the regular ol taste - you will love Quills!” —Amie M
FAQ
All coffee is roasted to order. Our small roastery team of four guys roasts 4 days a week.
We ship coffee orders at peak freshness, after an initial resting period to degas. This way you receive your order as it's beginning to approach peak freshness, so you can get the best flavors from every bag of coffee you receive.
If you order by midnight Sunday, your order will ship on Wednesday.
If you order by midnight Tuesday, your order will ship on Friday.
We hire baristas often! You can apply here.

THE HOOT

The Hoot is one short email from us sent every Friday morning. It takes about 5 minutes to read. It’s less of a 'newsletter' and more like an actual letter.
We sometimes send readers links to secret coffees and exclusive reader-only merch.
6,324 kind folks currently get it sent to their inbox.
We share what the people behind your coffee have been up to that week. You may hear about some wild coffee our head roaster Justin has tasted. Or behind-the-scenes on the new seasonal drinks our beverage director Jess is whipping up.
And we always add a little something fun in the PS.
