INTENTIONAL
We have created this business with firm intentions and clear objectives that guide us, ensuring that each step we take aligns with our overall vision. We make our daily decisions with our mission firmly in mind and carefully select suppliers and products that resonate harmoniously with these guiding principles.
Portrait Coffee
We aimed to find the best coffee for our business while working with a roaster that shares our positive values.
We wanted a roaster who could help us use semi-automated machines effectively.
We discovered Aaron and his team, loved their coffee and story, and they played a key role in developing our coffee recipes and processes.
All of Portrait Coffee's team members are Atlanta residents dedicated to the growth of the Historic West End. They bring diverse backgrounds in business, marketing, communications, design, and community development. Portrait Coffee's mission is to offer real career and life opportunities to people in Atlanta through coffee.
Simply Bread Oven
We needed an oven specifically designed for making great bagels, pizzas, and a variety of other baked goods. It was very important for us to choose one that comes with a compelling story and features that support our diverse staff in using it both safely and effectively.
Stijn Vanorbeek’s inspiring story resonated with us, and the oven's ample size and specialized features fit our needs perfectly.
We enthusiastically shared our project with Stijn, who was very supportive and excited about our vision.
Now, we use their oven daily, and it operates exceptionally well for facilities with limited power, which will also greatly assist us in opening future franchises successfully.
Husky Cup
To effectively reduce our overall environmental impact, we have actively sought out a reusable cup that not only meets local regulations but also aligns seamlessly with our broader sustainability goals.
The Husky cup presents a strong and viable option due to its notable recycling benefits and an innovative exchange program.
Customers are encouraged to participate in this program, which allows them to receive a clean cup for life, provided they return their used cup each time they make a purchase of their drinks.By using the reusable cup, customers receive a discount, which is a thoughtful incentive since we save on the costs associated with disposable cups.
This initiative not only promotes responsible consumption but also fosters a community committed to sustainability.
