About
Story Coffee Company is a Colorado Springs coffee roaster that grew out of a Tiny House cafe in Acacia Park. It roasts its own line, serves two cafes downtown and in Old Colorado City, and wholesales to cafes, restaurants and churches.
Our Story
Don and Carissa Niemyer met in a Dallas coffee shop on Halloween night in 2002 and were married seven months later. They ran shops in Portland, Oregon, then sold up, moved into a Rialta motorhome and spent a year visiting more than 200 coffee shops in 45 states. What they took from it was a puzzle: they loved big, beautiful shops and they loved simple, small ones. The answer was a Tiny House coffee shop where customers come inside, and Carissa's dad said the name should be Story. The shop opened in Colorado Springs' Acacia Park in November 2015, and Story became a roasting company in November 2016. A portion of every sale goes to The Marian House, which serves hot meals to people in need in Colorado Springs. In 2022 they opened a second cafe in The Sluice building in Old Colorado City.
