Three ways to work together
Pick the one that fits how you sell coffee, then say which in the form below.
-
Stock and serve
You physically stock and serve Ithaca Coffee, whether you run a café, a restaurant, an office or a shop. The roaster works with you on roast selection and brewing recommendations and stays on after the first order with ongoing support.
The roaster's wholesale page -
Online store
Shopify Collective is for online retailers already using Shopify: you list and sell select Ithaca Coffee products without holding inventory.
-
Platforms
Ithaca Coffee Company works with select third-party wholesale marketplaces. Tell the roaster which one you use and it helps find the right fit.
The coffee changes every week, the supplier does not show up, and nobody was trained
You open at six. The espresso that tasted sweet on Friday comes out harsh on Tuesday, a new hire dials in the grinder differently from the last one, and the delivery you were promised this week has not turned up. Regulars notice before you do. Coffee is the one thing every guest touches, and it is hard to run a program when the roast, the supplier and the know-how all change under you. When the person who understood the machine leaves, the know-how leaves with them. Ithaca Coffee Company partners with cafés, restaurants, offices, retailers and hospitality groups looking to serve thoughtfully sourced, expertly roasted coffee, backed by training, support and flexible ordering. The coffee is roasted in small batches in downtown Ithaca, roasted and blended to order, and the program fits a single café or a multi-location operation.
