We love all creatures. In all their glorious shapes, sizes and colors.
Creature Coffee is a small-batch coffee roaster based in Austin, Texas. We were born during the pandemic of 2020 by a couple of guys looking for a way to bring something fun into an otherwise not so fun year.
You see, we love sharing specialty coffee with people. Introducing someone to the best cup of coffee they’ve ever tasted makes us smile a big smile. Not that commercially-roasted, mass-produced stuff that’s been sat on the store shelves, going stale. We mean high quality specialty coffee. Fresh out the roaster beans that are mouth-wateringly delicious, sourced from some super skilled farmer dudes on the other side of the world growing some insanely tasty coffee varietals. We want to share their fruits, and their story with you. And maybe possibly, we’ll share a smile or two along the way.
When we started Creature Coffee, we started it with one mission in mind. To source and roast exceptional coffee while staying honest, approachable, and fun. We will source some of the best coffees in the world, and we will roast them to whimsical perfection, yes. But we wanted to do it in a non-traditional, not-so-samsie kinda way. Serious coffee, but in a totally unserious way.

Michael founded the original Creature Coffee cafe in east Austin in 2019, making a name for himself as the barista with the best accent in all of Austin.
He's the guy you should speak to if you have weird, esoteric questions about coffee or appreciate a solid 90 minutes of Premiership football.
Ben is the partner at Creature with a far more boring accent.
Ben has been seen running the marketing department at The Bruery, consulting with the team at Third Window Brewing,
or even playing an integral role
at Home Plate Peanut Butter.
Basically, he likes yummy things.
Aleksandra is a miracle sent from a land of rainbows and whimsy. She is the creative genius behind our little creatures and sparkly colors. She also happens to drink more coffee than Michael and Benjamin combined.
