When we first opened our brick and mortar, we were dreaming of what we wanted to do with the back of our rather large flagship. In the beginning, we tried workshops and hosting night-time events. But, it just didn’t feel quite right. Deep down, we knew we wanted to build a place for every-day community, a space where anyone and everyone could gather. The best way to do this, we thought, was with a cafe. And, the only cafe we wanted was one that was centered around a small, crafted, woman owned coffee brand called Lady Falcon Coffee Club out of Ocean Beach in San Francisco.
Lady Falcon
LADY FALCON COFFEE CLUB IS AN INDEPENDENT, FEMALE-FOUNDED COFFEE ROASTER BORN IN SAN FRANCISCO’S OCEAN BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD.
"Lady Falcon began as a rebellious daydream and mental manifesto. It was the only way I could envision myself in coffee. It was a way for me to add something to the conversation about the direction in which the coffee world was going. According to Roast Magazine, women comprise less than 13% of the world’s coffee roasters. Coffee roasters are the gatekeepers and tastemakers, and ours is a male-dominated world. What kind of impact has this had on our experience of drinking coffee? For me, coffee is a craft and, as a consequence, it is personal.
Also, I simply love roasting coffee. I wanted to focus on coffee as the sensual experience of enjoyment and pleasure. I love the cerebral aspect of coffee as well as all of the science advancements. But for me, coffee begins and ends with these questions: How does it taste to you? Do you like it? Lady Falcon Coffee Club is a taste-forward coffee company, first and foremost focused on honoring our customers’ voices."
