About Us

Started with some shelter dogs, the furry fandom and a need for some caffeine

We started this company because we wanted to help animals in need while creating a product that we could be proud of. And that's why we donate 5% to local animal shelters!
Our roots are based on our animals are adopted from shelters from fish to cats. Being in the furry fandom we celebrate our love for being fun, our love for animals and needing caffeine to survive cons. We believe that every day should be an adventure, and if you live in the city, it can be hard to find time for one. That's why we created this roastery—to give you a little bit of joy in your morning ritual without having to leave home or go outside.

Our Commitment: Coffee with a Conscience

At Urban Animal Roastery, we believe that a great cup of coffee should feel as good as it tastes. Our mission is built on three uncompromising pillars: Ethical Sourcing, Community Support, and Artist Representation.

1. 100% Ethical & Slave-Free Sourcing

We refuse to source beans through anonymous middlemen. We partner exclusively with importers like Genuine Origin and Covoya who maintain a physical presence in coffee-growing regions.

  • Zero Tolerance: We ensure our supply chain is free from forced labor.
  • Direct Impact: Through programs like The Volcafe Way, our farmers receive technical training and fair premiums that go beyond standard fair-trade minimums.
  • Traceability: Every bag we roast can be traced back to the community where it was grown.

2. Community Support: Giving Back Where It Matters

Coffee is more than a commodity—it's a lifeline for millions of families. We're committed to supporting the communities that make our business possible.

  • Fair Pricing: We pay above fair-trade minimums, ensuring farmers can invest in their families and land.
  • Education Initiatives: We fund scholarships and vocational training programs in coffee-growing regions.
  • Infrastructure Investment: We support projects that improve water access, healthcare, and education in partner communities.

3. Artist Representation: Celebrating Furry Talent

Our packaging isn't just beautiful—it's a platform for emerging artists. Every new release, we feature a furry artist on our bags and merch, providing exposure and compensation to creative voices in our community.

  • Artist Partnerships: We collaborate with Furry artists to create unique, limited-edition designs.

Why This Matters

We believe that transparency and accountability aren't just buzzwords—they're the foundation of ethical business. When you choose Urban Animal Roastery, you're not just getting exceptional coffee. You're supporting a supply chain built on respect, fairness, and genuine human connection.

Every purchase is a vote for a better coffee industry. Thank you for being part of our mission.
