Our Story
Curtis Thomas
Founder, Driftwood Dawn Coffee Co
In the early days, I was drawn to other crafts—cigars, then wine. I was fascinated by the process, the patience it took to create something truly enjoyable. I loved how they brought people together, how they slowed things down long enough for real conversation to happen.
But all along, coffee was a constant. The quiet companion to early mornings. The backdrop to so many moments of reflection, laughter, and connection.
Over time, I realized coffee wasn’t just part of the experience—it was the experience.
It’s the most common language we have. Nearly everyone starts their day with it. We share stories over it. We chase the best version of it, not just for flavor, but for what it represents: time well spent, people well loved, moments well remembered.
Driftwood Dawn was born from that realization.
A love not just for coffee, but for what it does—for the way it shows up in the small, meaningful spaces of our lives.
We roast in small batches and ship fresh, so every cup tells a story—and becomes part of yours.
What We Stand For
Process Over Product
We believe the process is the product. That’s why we work with skilled, trusted roasters who treat each bean with care—from origin to roast—so every cup reflects the quality it deserves.
Freshness, Always
Every bag is roasted to order and shipped fresh. No warehouses. No shortcuts. Just honest, flavorful coffee at its peak.
Slowness is Strength
The world moves fast. Coffee invites us to slow down. To savor, to sit still, to be present. We want our coffee to help create space for that.
Rooted in Connection
Coffee brings people together. It sparks conversations, starts mornings, and frames meaningful moments. We’re here for that – for the relationships coffee helps nurture.
Simple On Purpose
We’re not here to complicate coffee. We’re here to honor it. Clean design. Straightforward offerings. Nothing extra—just what matters.
Who Roasts Our Coffee
We work with experienced, trusted roasters who care about the craft as much as we do. Every roast is thoughtfully developed to bring out the unique character of each origin—highlighting flavor, balance, and depth.
Our coffee is roasted in small batches, by real people, using time-tested methods. No automation. No shortcuts.
And here’s our bottom line: We don’t sell anything we wouldn’t drink ourselves.
We have tested and handpicked each roast. If it’s not good enough for our own stories, it’s not good enough for yours.
We’re proud to stand behind every bag because we believe in what goes into it—and who’s behind it.
Your morning matters. Your routine matters. Your coffee should, too.
Thanks for inviting Driftwood Dawn into your story.
