Who we are

The Crew at Dare Coffee Co.

We didn’t just start a business; we started a caffeine-fueled mission in the heart of Dare County. We genuinely love the service industry; mostly because we love people, but also because we’ve found that "serving others" is the best excuse to talk about coffee all day.

At our roastery, things get a little nerdy. We treat roasting as a marriage between analytical science and creative art. Think of us as part lab technicians, part artists, and entirely over-caffeinated. We crunch the data so your taste buds can enjoy the art.

The Dare Coffee Co Rules:

  • No Stale Beans: We don't have a warehouse full of old bags. We are strictly roasted-to-order. If you haven’t bought it yet, we haven’t roasted it yet.

  • The Good Stuff Only: We only use high-grade, organic, and fair-trade beans. If it isn't ethical and top-tier, it isn't going in your mug.

  • Full Service: Whether you’re a local cafe or a home brewer in pajamas, we’ve got you covered.

From our slightly over-caffeinated family to yours—let’s brew something fresh.

Cheers!  The Mentzer’s
