Classroom Coffee, Our Story
​Classroom Coffee was founded in Chappaqua, NY by neighbors whose love of travel, service, and entrepreneurship seems to have transferred to their kids who, from an early age, have had the opportunity to venture, volunteer, and kickstart various enterprises. From lemonade stands to selling crafts door to door to after-school snack sales, the interest has only grown with time.
Why coffee? Starting any business hits on a wide array of subjects, but coffee really is the perfect vehicle for learning and impact. Important lessons include history, geography, accounting, procurement, manufacturing, web design, marketing, and sales. And sourcing the raw material the right way provides positive environmental and socioeconomic effects while connecting sales to local philanthropy brings the benefits full circle.
Like those lemonade stands of the past, we're not sure how long this will last or how many customers will show up, but we're learning and enjoying ourselves along the way.
