about us
OQ Coffee Company is a specialty coffee roastery in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The roastery sources fairly traded coffee of the highest quality that we roast and sell to improve the lives of both the people who produce and consume it.
Our passion for coffee grew out of two realizations:
- Great coffee is delicious; and
- We love coffee’s potential to create community.
As such, we’re not just a business roasting coffee; we are also a “social enterprise” with a passion to transform our city and communities around the world through the following:
- Sourcing the highest quality, sustainably produced coffees through Fair and Direct-trade relationships with coffee farmers around the world;
- Roasting each coffee individually, looking for a beans own “sweet spot” that highlights the characteristics unique to where it was grown;
- Selling locally and educating our neighbors on high quality coffee and sustainability;
- Offering Community Dividends Grants to support social justice projects in New Brunswick, NJ; and
- Expanding into a full-service cafe that acts as a hub for the community to share ideas, resources, and a passion to transform our city.
