About Partners Coffee
Partners Coffee is a small batch coffee roaster founded in Brooklyn, New York. As roasters and baristas they believe that each coffee can tell a story, and they seek to share that in every cup. Co-owners Adam Boyd and Amber Jacobsen opened the flagship cafe and roastery in 2012 under the name Toby's Estate on a then-deserted stretch of North 6th Street in Williamsburg. The shop quickly became the unofficial clubhouse for the burgeoning neighborhood, allowing the company to thoughtfully expand into new boroughs, verticals and retailers.
Now with a robust wholesale business that includes clients such as Whole Foods, Van Leeuwen, PlantShed, The Butcher's Daughter and many more, state of the art educational facilities, and five beloved neighborhood cafes, Partners Coffee strives to make sophisticated and complex coffees approachable. With an unwavering commitment to coffee integrity and offering educational programs for wholesale clients and consumers alike, Partners Coffee has helped pave the way as a destination for accessible specialty coffee in the United States.
