A night for the books. 🥂
Celebrating the first issue of Open Book. One more big shoutout to Laurel Oetken and Jocelyn S. with Open Range for putting this together.

A few months ago we were interviewed by Open Range and asked to share the Cup of Coa story!

Today, we’re excited to join a group of Nebraska startups in the Founding Edition of Open Book. We’re so grateful to be part of it and to see so many Nebraska startup stories brought together in one place.

Sunday mornings might just be the best part of the week. 🤎

Cooler air outside, extra snuggles in bed, nowhere you need to be quite yet… and something warm waiting in your favorite mug.

Fall has a way of reminding us that slowing down can be its own kind of luxury. Stay under the covers a little longer. Make the cocoa. Linger over breakfast. Spend time with the people you love.

The week will come soon enough.

For now, this moment matters. ☕️🍂

It’s been a hot minute… so we thought we’d come back with chocolate. 🤎

Summer may be winding down, but gardens and farmers markets are still giving us some of their very best. Fresh berries + a rich, flourless chocolate torte might just be our favorite way to enjoy the last fruits of the season while slowly welcoming baking season back into the kitchen.

Our Cup of Coa Flourless Chocolate Torte is one of those timeless recipes: deeply chocolatey, beautifully simple, and even better topped with a pile of fresh berries.

Cup of Coa has always been about creating reasons to pause. To bake something just because. To sit down at the table a little longer. To turn an ordinary afternoon into an intentional moment.

So pull out the Cup of Coa, gather those last summer berries, and bake something worth slowing down for. 🍓🍫

From our little small town to National Nordstrom across the company!

Okay, Kearney. We need you to understand how BIG this one is.

The cocoa that started behind the counter at Barista’s Daily Grind is now on the shelves at Nordstrom stores across the country.

Yep. That Nordstrom.

Our sister company, Cup of Coa, just launched its full line of cocoa flavors nationally with one of the most recognized luxury retailers in America.

And we really need our hometown to know: Cup of Coa is, and always will be, a Kearney, Nebraska company.

Long before there were beautiful tins and national retailers, there were Barista’s customers drinking our cocoa. You ordered it. You told your friends about it. You gave it as gifts. You helped us believe that something we made here could belong somewhere much bigger.

Now we’re taking that little Kearney secret with us.

If you’ve wondered why you haven’t seen Jasmin around the shops quite as much lately, this is a little piece of the answer. She believes so deeply in where Cup of Coa can go that she relocated to Omaha to be closer to an airport—and these days, that airport gets used a LOT. There are planes to catch, stores to visit and a whole lot of people around the country who still need to learn what great cocoa is supposed to taste like.

And we’re just getting started.

So Kearney, we need a favor.

Make some noise about this one.

Share this post. Tell your friends in other cities. Send it to your family across the country. If there’s a Nordstrom near them, tell them to go find the cocoa from Kearney, Nebraska sitting on those shelves.

And if you haven’t followed Cup of Coa yet, now would be a pretty great time. Come watch this little Nebraska company grow.

We’re setting out to teach the world a thing or two about true luxury.

Turns out, we learned the secret in a coffee shop in Kearney. ❤️

We have an exciting announcement: Cup of Coa is officially headed to Nordstrom stores this season!

We recently sat down with Silicon Prairie News for a piece highlighting local entrepreneurs and the paths we take to scale. It was a great chance to reflect on our journey so far and formally make this announcement!

Read the full feature:

Are you building a small business, or are you building a scalable startup? While sometimes used interchangeably, these business plans have distinct pathways and considerations. 🤔💭 As a sort of bridge between these worlds as consumer packaged goods businesses, Nebraska-based Cup of Coa and Humbl Roots shared their development journeys. ☕️ 🥕
