100% women-led coffee supply chain
Feminist Coffee
Dear Diary Coffee is one of the few shops in America with a 100% women-led supply chain, from farm to roaster to retailer.
Why does this matter?
On a global level, women are an oppressed—and in some countries, enslaved—demographic. Supporting women-owned and -led coffee businesses in Central America and Africa demonstrates the value we place on the lives of women.
On a local level, Dear Diary Coffee has chosen to partner with Sightseer, a company founded by Sara Gibson and Kimberly Zash. In addition to be phenomenal roasters, Sara and Kim use their coffee industry expertise to discover women-owned farms around the world and import their beans.
Friendship Economy
Dear Diary Coffee is hugely committed to Austin’s friendship economy. We believe customers visit us again and again because we put effort into nurturing our friendships with them. And we also appreciate how every small business in Austin, including us, depends on customers choosing them over national chains. If we want customers to advocate for us, we need to advocate for each other.
