Groundwork Coffee LLC

People tend to celebrate success at the finish line, but at Groundwork, we know good things come to those who put in the work. We understand the struggles, the effort, the failures, and small wins and losses along the way - we live it every day.
Coffee is a constant through-line in all of our lives. It's the reason an artist can pull an all-nighter. It's the reason students can wake up early to get a few extra hours of studying in. It's the thing that emboldens our community to apply for jobs, survive breakups, and take care of children through sleepless nights. It's the push to work harder, to do better, and to get up and go each day.
When you love what you do, you don't stop, no matter how hard it gets. People put in the work, and so do we.
Our Certified Organic coffee must meet rigorous standards of quality. We're deeply involved in the long process of getting coffee to your cup, and we never settle for anything less than the best coffee possible.
Choosing organic affects much more than what you put in your body. Clean products mean clean environments for farmers at origin—from the land they live to the water they drink. We inspire people to choose better coffee, and inspire the coffee industry to do better as a whole.
We opened doors to our very first cafe in Venice Beach in 1990 with a humble goal to source and share the very best organic coffee with our community. Demand grew quickly, and we started roasting 24/7 out of our tiny café on Rose Avenue to keep up.
30 years later, thanks to neighbors & friends we've been fortunate enough to serve, we have cafés all along the West Coast, a growing line of cold brew coffees, and two very busy roasteries in Los Angeles and Portland. We've been profoundly lucky to see the development of dozens of new organic coffee farms around the world, including the first Regenerative Organic Certified(TM) Coffee farms, and are proud to continue sharing their exceptional coffees.
