Known Coffee was founded in Winston Salem, NC by Sean Scott. He's been on the journey of cultivating the space of coffee to connect people for over 10 years. Known is the next evolutionary step in this story of roasting exceptional coffee while creating an impactful community space.
Starting in a small space share, just outside of Washington, D.C. in the fall of '09 to launching one of the first coffee roasting companies in South Florida, Subculture Coffee. Sean saw tremendous potential in the growing city of Winston Salem and decided to seed a new vision here.
The focus of Known remains rooted in consistent and proactive community involvement through intentionally crafted coffee. The secret sauce is one simple ingredient . . . authentic care. Whether it be the farmers we partner with, the creative collaboration with local companies or in how we roast each batch, Known is committed to YOU! Each of our journeys is unique but one thing is the common thread . . . our desire to be seen and loved for who we are.
