Community Coffee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Community Coffee is a coffee roasting and retail company based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. Founded in 1919 and based in Baton Rouge, Community is the largest family-owned retail coffee brand in America. They specialize in above average coffee, offering medium to dark roasts from a variety of countries. Community® Coffee is distributed in eleven Southern states and shipped around the world. You can find us in most restaurants, offices, grocery and convenience stores throughout Louisiana, most large grocery chains in Texas and Mississippi, and select stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina and Virginia.

The company also owns a chain of coffeehouses called CC's Gourmet Coffee House, which has locations in 11 southern states in the US. CC's Coffee House was born in the heart of New Orleans and is a division of Louisiana's legendary Community Coffee Company. CC's Coffee House opened its first location in New Orleans in 1995 and is the premier coffeehouse of the South with more than 30 locations throughout Louisiana. For several years, the company also owned a chain of retail stores where consumers could purchase gift items using coupons that can to be found on packages of their coffee (for example, a coffee storage tin, coffee brewing paraphernalia, etc.). Now these coupons are used to give money to local schools. People collect the coupons turn them to Community Coffee & their school receives cash. The company's products include one blend combining their coffee beans with the traditional strong "chicory coffee" often associated with the New Orleans area of Louisiana. While CC's foundation lies within the tradition of the finest family-owned coffee company in America, CC's appeals to a new generation of coffee lovers with its one-of-a-kind coffee and fresh approach to consumers.
