Heroes Rise Coffee Company - About Us
About Heroes Rise Coffee Company
Heroes Rise Coffee Company was founded on a simple belief: the people who serve our communities deserve exceptional coffee.
As a first-responder-owned and operated company, we understand early mornings, long shifts, sleepless nights, and the commitment it takes to answer the call when others need help. That's why every bag we roast is crafted with the same dedication, grit, and purpose that first responders, military members, healthcare workers, dispatchers, and community heroes bring to their work every day.
Our mission is simple: Roast for Those Who Serve.
We source high-quality coffee from around the world and roast it in small batches to ensure freshness, consistency, and outstanding flavor. Whether you prefer a bold dark roast, a smooth medium roast, a rich espresso blend, or one of our signature flavored coffees, every cup is designed to fuel your day and elevate your coffee experience.
But Heroes Rise Coffee is about more than coffee.
From day one, we've been committed to giving back to the communities that support us. Through donations, partnerships, community events, and support for first responders, veterans, military families, and local organizations, we strive to make a positive impact far beyond the coffee cup.
Today, Heroes Rise Coffee proudly serves customers across the country through our online store, wholesale partnerships, fundraising programs, and retail locations. Every order helps us continue our mission of supporting those who serve while delivering coffee that people are proud to brew, share, and enjoy.
Whether you're starting your shift, heading to work, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet morning, we're honored to be part of your daily routine.
Thank you for supporting a first-responder-owned business and helping us continue to serve those who serve.

Roast for Those Who Serve.
It all started with faith, family, duty, and coffee
It’s in our history
We would have to say that the EMS life has been in our blood for many generations and it is just part of who we are, it’s a way of life. We can go back to when our great, great (and for some, another great) grandpa Harry Logan was on the original Fire Department in Royalton Minnesota. This was back in the day when they had to keep the fire steam engine going 24/7 so that if there was a fire, it would be ready to go. That is true dedication for firemen to take awake shifts to keep it going around the clock – just in case.
The man, the myth, the legend
The next person who started it is pretty much the Patriarch of it all, our Dad and Grandpa Alfred Kimmons. He was the Police Chief in Onamia Minnesota for 25 years before he retired and during that time, he was also a Volunteer Fire Fighter and a First Responder.
