History
In many ways, Queen City started in the mid-2000s while we worked, researched, and played in rural Africa. From Zimbabwe to Rwanda, we spent nearly a decade coordinating humanitarian programs, organizing research projects, and kicking around on humble soccer fields with friends. We learned about community in Africa -- real, honest community. Life eventually brought us back to our roots, back to Colorado and the great city of Denver. Along the way, we indulged our passion for coffee by moonlighting as baristas and roasters, and this made our next project an easy progression -- we love our farmer friends + we love our city, the Queen City of the Plains + we love coffee -- so we started a company that combines all these things!
Specialties
Queen City is a collective coffee company in Denver building community from farm to cup. Our coffee comes from farmers and producers we know and is then small-batch roasted in the city we love. We believe that open community and honest relationships, more than third-party certifications, achieve equitable results for everyone involved.
