About Us

Remember when you could have a great conversation over a cup of coffee without breaking the bank? Well now, you can have a great premium coffee that isn’t roasted until you order it or an amazing artisan tea. We’ve sourced great coffee and tea from all over the world that will help you get your day started and keep it going. 

We didn’t just poke the bear. We dragged it out of its den, gave it a cup of joe, and told it to simmer down. 

Waking Bear Coffee was born of a love of meeting up for a drink, and conversation. Our goal is to deliver great coffee and tea, while donating to programs dedicated to taking care of our nation's Veterans and first responders. As a Veteran and former first responder myself, I understand how big of an impact just having someone to talk too can be. A cup of coffee is a great way to start that conversation, as well as get through whatever mission your life has for you. 

As a 100% Veteran Owned and Operated company, we stand dedicated to our values of honor, courage, and commitment as we strive to connect with our fellow veterans and community. Every cup serves as a salute to those dedicated to the defense of our nation, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in that pursuit. 

Semper Fidelis,
