GoodPeople has a fun story. We'll start with the name.

In 2017, when we were trying to decide what the name of the shop was going to be, Chuck and the first crew were having a conversation about who they wanted to partner for things such as coffee purveyors, staff, so on and so forth. As Chuck described each person, at the end he'd finish the description of that person by saying, "They are good people."

"Buena Gente, is what we say in Spanish when we vouch for someone. As Hispanics, we have a strong belief that our word has weight. When you vouch for someone... that's like a co-sign from us." (Chuck Herrera)

Someone instantly said... "Let's call the shop GoodPeople." That's where we became a coffee company.

We didn't want to be held down by the title "shop." We believe we are much more than that. We believe we are a space, a community... a lot of things to a lot of people. Coffee is the conduit that unites us people, all people.

GoodPeople is a place to get some coffee or learn more about the origin of coffee. GoodPeople is where some come to learn how to modify espresso extraction based on the portion of milk it will accompany, others love iced oat vanilla bullshits and take a bottle home to make it at home all week. Good People is you – it's me – it's all of us.

When you visit us, we hope to meet and exceed your expectations and that you get to experience how special coffee is and how special you are.
