The origin story ☕️✨🫣
It’s like looking at photos from middle school. The core is the same, and we also hope we’re unrecognizable now.
We (Ty & Erin) launched Flipside Coffee with all we could afford: a dolled up rolling cooler, some wild bucket hats, and a vision for creating quality coffee experiences that had fun personality. 💜
No espresso machine.
No electricity.
No coffee world connections. (Ty was a tour guide, and Erin was a dog walker.)
It was hard. We woke up at 4 in our tiny apartment, set out to make coffee, and then sold it on the street in downtown Denver. 🌇
It was awesome. We fell in love with making people great coffee. ☕️
Our brand colors are an ode to the beginning of Flipside- when we made elevated wild berry poptarts to go with our coffee. Our stegosaurus is the state dinosaur of Colorado- a fun fact only a former tour guide would know. 🦕
We’re grateful to look back and cringe a little bit- grateful for the friends who showed up and didn’t say, “This is insane”, grateful for the support of our community and our clients, and grateful for the opportunity to have grown so much. 🙏🏼
Flipside Coffee now has worked with amazing clients- from the owners of F1 to the Denver Broncos, from Audi to Goop to Breitling. We have three espresso carts, a tea & mocktail cart, and still just the one rolling cooler. 🧊🤣
Most of all, we still care deeply that our guests have amazing experiences- and we’re excited to do crazy things to make those unforgettable. 💟 We don’t know exactly what Flipside Coffee will look like in 5,10, or 15 years- but we know that our commitment to that will never change.
