Are You an Independent Coffee Shop Owner?
Do You Have a Heart
for Community Over Competition?
The Kentucky Coffee Trail™ was created for shop owners who believe coffee can bring people together
And those who care as much about their community as they do about their craft.
If you’re passionate about what you brew, proud of where you’re from,
and ready to share it with the world,
we’d love to have you join us.
Why Join?

Join a network of independent shops working
together to grow Kentucky’s coffee culture.
Drive Tourism to Your Town.

Be Part of Something Bigger.
