Our Story
Hi there! Thanks for visiting our site. We’re Tyler, Slava, and Jeff, the founders of Cool Dad Coffee and three guys who are deeply obsessed with coffee. We love the craft, ritual, and the pursuit of making a truly great cup. From sourcing and roasting to brewing and tasting, we care about every step of your coffee ritual. For us, coffee is not just the morning fuel for productivity or hustle, but for those quiet moments, first sips, and conversations that linger longer than planned.
Cool Dad Coffee is roasted by dads, but made for everyone. The name comes from who we are, not who you have to be. We’ve learned that being a dad (or a human for that matter) isn’t about having it all figured out. We grew up with narrow ideas of masculinity that didn’t leave much room for kindness, vulnerability, or growth, so we’re trying to reshape those ideas, however we can. To us, it’s about being present, owning our misfires, supporting others, and doing a little bit better tomorrow than we did today.
That spirit shows up in every bag. Along with thoughtfully roasted coffee, you’ll find a fresh dad joke, dad-vice, or a dad-ku (which is a haiku or almost haiku), sourced from our own amazing community! Cool Dad Coffee is not just an amazing cup of Joe, but a space for sharing stories, offering support, laughing through the hard parts, and giving and receiving kindness. After all, it’s kindness that makes you cool. Our brand ambassador, Olive (pictured below), certainly agrees.
So…
Be cool. Be kind. Drink coffee.
