We are more than just coffee. In 2002, Brad and Angie Barber wanted to fill a void in their small community of Clear Lake, Iowa. While the lake was a bustling tourist spot, its main street lacked a comfortable coffee shop where locals could grab a cup of coffee and visit with friends. By December, Cabin Coffee Company opened its doors for business. We know freshness makes the difference. From vibrant flavor and deep aroma to antioxidant-packed benefits and energy boost., freshly roasted beans elevate regular coffee to exceptional coffee. That’s why we roast our beans everyday on site. You can even select your coffee beans and roast type, and watch the roasting process. We are committed to our communities. A supportive community formed the foundation of Cabin Coffee back in 2002. Today, each location takes pride in being an active business in its own community. We encourage owners to partner with schools, churches, and other charitable organizations to provide fund-raising opportunities. We value names over numbers. Cabin Coffee would not be a success without our customers and franchises. We’re proud of the fact that most of our franchisees are former customers, and that each have their own unique Cabin Coffee story. We don't take ourselves too seriously. There’s a reason you’ll see “Just be happy and have fun” throughout every Cabin Coffee. Our goal of providing a comfortable spot for friends to meet over coffee is what continues to guide us. Today, thanks to a team of trusted franchise owners and valued employees, we believe everything’s better at the cabin.
