Our Story
Command Coffee was born out of a desire to redefine the traditional coffee experience. Our founder, Danny Heller, saw a gap in the market—a need for a space that combined the energy of a high-volume coffee shop with a welcoming space that encourages people to savor the moment. With a focus on quality, community, and thoughtful service, Danny set out to build something different—where efficiency meets experience, and every cup is crafted with care.
From the beginning, Command Coffee was crafted with the early riser in mind. We understand that mornings are about momentum, setting the pace for the day. Our cafes open early, ready to serve you fresh, high-quality coffee to fuel your day. Whether you’re heading to work, catching up with a friend, or need a quiet corner to get things done, we’re here to help you take command of your day.
One thing that sets Command Coffee apart is our thoughtful approach to managing volume. We believe in creating a calm, efficient environment, which is why we strategically limit ordering channels at each location: drive-through locations offer only walk-in and drive-through service, while our walk-in locations support mobile ordering and walk-ins. While mornings are still very busy, this approach reduces chaos, allowing baristas to focus on making each drink with care and ensuring that customers have a smooth, enjoyable experience.
When it comes to our coffee, our journey started with a focus on maintaining a reasonable cost of goods, but it quickly became a passion for roasting. By building relationships with reliable green coffee importers, we’ve been able to increase the quality of our coffee over time. We roast each batch with care, paying close attention to every detail, from bean selection to roast profiles, to bring out the best in every cup.
Bringing Command Coffee to Your Home
While we love seeing you in our cafes, we know that not everyone can make it in every day. That’s why we make it easy to enjoy Command Coffee at home. Our freshly roasted beans are available online, so you can brew the same high-quality coffee that our baristas make, right in your own kitchen.
Our beans are carefully selected, freshly roasted, and delivered to your door. Whether you’re an espresso enthusiast, a pour-over perfectionist, or just someone who enjoys a good cup of drip coffee, we have something for you. We also offer coffee subscriptions, so you never have to worry about running out of your favorite beans.
Ordering online is simple, and we make sure each bag is packed with the same care and passion that goes into every cup served in our stores. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about making sure that every coffee moment, no matter where you are, feels special.
Why “Command Coffee”?
Command Coffee isn’t just a name; it’s a nod to our founder’s love of learning and efficiency. Inspired by the command key on a keyboard, it reflects the idea of finding smarter, more effective ways of doing things. Just like mastering a new keyboard shortcut can improve your workflow, we hope our coffee helps you take command of your day, wherever it takes you.
We’re proud to be local, and we see that as a strength. Each of our locations is chosen with care, ensuring that we’re not just a stop on your commute, but a part of your community. From the design of our stores to the partnerships we build, everything is done with a sense of purpose.
Command Coffee is more than just a café—it’s a movement to bring back the connection that made coffee shops special in the first place. We may not be the biggest, but we’re committed to crafting an experience that feels personal, intentional, and genuine. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the coffee—it’s about the people who share it.
