The story of
Our Mission
With antisemitism on the rise, the founders of Chutzpah Coffee felt the need to support other Jewish brands across the country. Having love for both their Jewish identity and their morning coffee, they searched for a specialty-grade coffee brand that was proudly Jewish. When they realized no such brand existed, they set out to build one! Building Chutzpah Coffee with roots in Jewish Pride, Coffee Quality, and Community. The mission of Chutzpah Coffee was not only to make great coffee, but to also uplift Jewish charities, people, and organizations.

Hear from our Founder
"We set out to build a brand that’s unapologetically proud to be Jewish, by focusing on Jewish traditions, Jewish values, and giving back to the community!
We chose the name “Chutzpah” because it captures the spirit we stand for. In Yiddish, "Chutzpah" means audacity, courage, and boldness - traits admired in our community and that we weave into everything we do. Our coffee reflects that same spirit: bold, high quality, and proudly Jewish.
But Chutzpah isn’t just for us Jews. It’s for EVERYONE who leads with confidence, pushes through adversity, and isn’t afraid to stand tall. Our products are made for those who are proud of who they are, because at Chutzpah Coffee Co, we are proud of who we are."
