The Black Coffee Company at Morehouse College

The Black Coffee Company at Morehouse College is a Black-owned specialty coffee shop located at 830 Westview Dr. SW on the campus of Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. Founded in 2018 by five HBCU alumni — Christopher Bolden, Jamin Butler, Branden Cole, Gino Jones, and Leonard Lightfoot — the brand sourced its roots in fair trade, single-origin, organic coffee from Ethiopia before expanding to beans from Honduras, Kenya, Brazil, and Peru. The Morehouse location, the company’s second, serves as a community gathering space for students and neighbors alike, with core values centered on entrepreneurship, financial freedom, community empowerment, and education.
