Gimme! Coffee

Celebrating Living Wage Week with gratitude for the folks who power our co-op. As a Living Wage for US certified employer, every hire at Gimme is full-time and living-wage, supported by benefits, annual raises, and the shared stewardship that comes with employee ownership. It’s one piece of our larger work to build good jobs and a healthier community—right alongside our commitments to fair sourcing and local partnerships.

Our new everyday tee just dropped — and it’s a special one.

We teamed up with our local friend and neighbor to bring our new Gimme! everyday shirt to life — printed right here in Ithaca using a discharge technique that softens the design into the cotton. It’s comfy from day one, with that “this is already my favorite shirt” energy.

On the back, you’ll find three words that mean a lot to us:

We / Us / Our.

Because we're only as strong as the people we build with.

Supporting local printmakers, investing in materials that align with our ethics, and keeping dollars circulating in our community — that’s the kind of merch that feels good to wear.

Available now in cafés and on our webstore.
Wear it, live in it, spill some coffee on it, repeat. ☕💫

This year marks 25 years since we opened our first espresso bar in Ithaca’s Northside neighborhood. Back then, you might have spotted our tall silver bags stamped with bright red labels and blend names like Platinum Blonde, Piccolo Mondo, and the ever-resilient Leftist. We were a small, quality-obsessed roaster with a big vision—drawing from Italian-style tradition while living the values of a nascent third wave. That vision expanded as we opened cafes in Williamsburg and Nolita, gained national recognition for our profile-driven roasting, and built sourcing relationships rooted in fairness, transparency, and longevity.

Today, we're marking a quarter-century of that quality-obsession with a web sale on our entire coffee roster! Today through Sunday (7/25 - 7/27), go to gimmecoffee.com and receive 25% off with promo code at checkout → HAPPY25

To our team, our customers, and our community—thank you for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started.

Here’s to the next 25 years—together.

Turihamwe means “together” in Kirundi — fitting, since this is Burundi’s first washing station built and owned entirely by women farmers. With the support of and the , they’ve doubled their production in just two years, all while maintaining a stunningly clean and expressive cup. This lot also comes to us through JNP’s Dushime Premium Program — "dushime" means “let’s be thankful.”
