Our Story

About Creative Coffee & SupplyThe Creative Coffee experience begins and ends with intentionality. We are intentional with the coffees from seed to cup, and we are working towards creating a culture that allows people to live at their full potential and move the future of humanity. Our customers include anyone who lives and/or works in Downtown Pittsburgh, as well as anyone who enjoys good coffee at home. In addition to our brick-and-mortar, we have plans to roll out a retail and wholesale program to different cafes and shops around Pittsburgh.Back in college, I was incredibly interested in roasting coffee because I loved drinking it. I bought green beans from a wholesale company here in Pittsburgh and actually decided to roast it in my oven. I thought it was a great idea. It was not. Roasting coffee, I learned, produces so much smoke that it spills out from the roaster and it like burnt popcorn. My house smelled like old movie theater popcorn for a week. My parents were not happy. But when I had tried the coffee, it actually was very good. So I decided to invest in a small residential tabletop roaster to continue this newfound hobby. Once I was doing it more consistently, I started giving it out to my friends and family to try. Since they also enjoyed it, I decided to take it to market and start serving my coffees at different events around Pittsburgh. It was getting some good traction and I had a lot of good feedback. After a few years of doing this, I knew I wanted to open a shop here in Pittsburgh. I reached out to my friends that own Crazy Mocha and asked if I could just pick their brain on how and what I would need to open a shop. They came back and said that they actually wanted to let go of their location on Smithfield Street. Three weeks later I took over this location and started transforming it into the home of Creative Coffee & Supply.
