Coffee for a Cause
During a normal school year, it was always challenging to find vocational placements for our special needs high schoolers who attend New Horizons Academy. Well, 2020 was anything but normal. With higher unemployment rates in Northwest Ohio and so many public health restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, vocational placements were more challenging than ever.
We set out to create our own career center with in-house vocational training and employment opportunities for our students. The most exciting aspect of this facility was the creation of a fully functional coffee shop and roastery, Special Grounds Coffee Co., staffed by many of our special needs high school students.
Our coffee shop provides customers with a warm and inviting environment to come and enjoy coffee with their friends and family. It also features a drive-up window for those wanting coffee on the go.
We are also roasting, packaging and selling our delicious coffees to individuals, businesses and wholesale accounts across the country.
We are so excited for the amazing opportunities this facility provides to our students and individuals with disabilities in our community. We look forward to serving you!

What you get with every cup

There is so much history in every sip of our coffee. Whether coming from Uganda, Guatemala, Brazil, or one of the many other countries we offer, you can be assured that every bean was sorted (usually by hand) and cared for by the farmers that take pride in their work. That is why we are so happy to get our coffees from importers who are taking the time to ensure, not only the quality of beans being provided to you, but the quality of life of the farmers.
A portion of our beans are fair trade and organic. We thoroughly believe in the motto “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime”. Our quality process begins with these hard working farmers and ends with our service of coffee to you.

Fresh-Roasted
Every Time
We take pride in getting the freshest roasted coffee in your hands. We take all the intricate details of every bean in to mind – from the density of the beans to the region of origin – to ensure the most flavor and aroma be served in every cup.
Coffee roasting is a complex process that involves the careful application of heat to green coffee beans in an effort to transform the life contained within each seed – acids, sugars, proteins, etc – into delightful aromas of roasted nuts, malts, chocolate, flowers, fruits, berries, and more.
We are proud of the coffee we serve and know you will love it as much as we do!
Coffee With a Mission
Great Coffee. Great Cause.
Special Grounds Coffee Co. hand-roasts green coffee beans locally to ensure fresh, rich flavors while blending cultures and tastes of the world into each cup.
In addition to providing much needed vocation experience to individuals with disabilities, profits from Special Grounds Coffee Co. are invested back into mission organizations, both locally and in the countries where our coffee was grown.
Our desire is to support mission projects that meet physical needs for families like clean water and a safe place to live. These organizations are also able to minister to families in their time of need and for years after.
With Special Grounds Coffee, you are able to support missions while enjoying some of the best coffee in the world.
