Thomas Coffee: Staying True to Our Roots
Thomas Coffee has been a part of St. Louis’ morning routine for more than a century, and if you’ve been brewing our beans for years, you know we’re not the kind to chase fads. We built our name on delivering a rich, full‑bodied cup at a fair price, and that hasn’t changed. But the world around us has. Rising costs and corporate takeovers have made it harder than ever to find an honest cup of coffee that feels like home. So we wanted to take a moment to speak directly to you—our long‑time customers—and share how we’re recommitting ourselves to the values that brought us this far.
First, know that Thomas Coffee remains proudly independent. Our family‑owned roastery has lasted a century by sticking to what matters: selecting quality beans, roasting them in small batches, and packaging them in the familiar cans and bags you’ve come to trust. We’re still doing that, and we’re doing it right here in the heart of St. Louis. Our promise is simple: gourmet coffee without the gourmet price tag, because good taste shouldn’t be reserved for the few.
We’re also embracing our classic symbol to carry us forward: the Scottish terrier. Much like this sturdy, wiry‑coated dog, Thomas Coffee stands firm and loyal, with a dash of polish that never strays from the integrity of the brand. The Scottie’s mix of hard‑working heritage and refined looks reflects our own journey—distinguished yet down‑to‑earth. We hope seeing his friendly silhouette on our packaging and promotions serves as a reminder of our commitment to honesty, resilience, and a touch of old‑school charm.
We know trust isn’t rebuilt with a slogan; it’s earned cup by cup. That’s why we’re redoubling our focus on quality and transparency. We’re sourcing beans that meet strict standards for flavor and sustainability, and we’re roasting them to bring out the natural character of each blend. We’re also keeping our prices accessible, with even better deals and promos at places like Schnucks and Dierbergs—because saving a few dollars shouldn’t mean sacrificing flavor. Behind the scenes, we’re reinvesting in our community through partnerships with local establishments—places where honest people gather for honest coffee.
Most importantly, we’re listening. If you have memories to share or ideas for how we can better serve you, we want to hear them. Drop us a note, tag us on social media, or email us.
Thomas Coffee isn’t just a brand; it’s a relationship built over kitchen tables and sturdy countertop coffee brewers. With your support, we’re more determined than ever to keep brewing the coffee you love—gourmet quality for hard‑working people, now and always.
