The story starts with a dream, a bike, and a belief that we really could help change the world with a cup of coffee and a cup of tea.

THE DREAM. For years we had dreamed about creating a watering hole for the community where meaningful life change was central to everything that we did. We talked and imagined and wrote on our white board (that we kept under the bed for late night scheming sessions) about what a company like this could look like.

THE BIKES. Our obsession with good cold brew led us to serve up our recipes every week at the growing church that we had launched years earlier- Mike cold brewed the coffee and Sarah cold brewed the tea. Competition would ensue every week to see what would pour more - Mike’s coffee or Sarah’s tea. In 2018, we purchased 2 tap bikes and launched the “test kitchen cafe”. We planted those beauties around town and served up our cold brew, promoting that we would donate the first 10% of every sale back to fight the cause that pulled at our family’s heart the most- bringing an end to human trafficking.

THE COMMUNITY. Since then, we’ve watched our community, customers, and fellow small businesses rally around the MCB mission. Our shop became the dream come true— a gathering place where lives are impacted. Across the counter, we’ve shared tears, celebrated victories, and built lasting connections. Today, our brews are on tap at over 15 locations, and our beans and spice mixes ship nationwide, carrying the #everycupchangeslives mission wherever they go. Different walks of life, one shared mission: together, we believe we can help end human slavery in our lifetime.
