The Journey to Better Coffee
Denim's backbone and northern star has always been Matt Ramsay's passion and zeal for roasting and serving great coffee; a passion whose roots date back to Matt's days studying at Shippensburg University, where he worked as a barista on campus and began experimenting with roasting via a humble popcorn popper in his dorm.

After developing their coffee skills at a coffee shop and coffee roaster in Huntingdon, PA, Matt and his wife, Kristin created a plan for roasting coffee back in Shippensburg, PA. In 2011, they founded Denim Coffee and began roasting coffee in a 20 x 20 studio space and serving their coffee at farmers markets and providing fresh roasts for other coffee shops.

In 2016, Denim welcomed fellow Shippensburg University Alumni Tony Diehl, an entrepreneur and leader in internet marketing and brand development, to the roster to help launch their first retail coffee shop in downtown Carlisle, Pa. The team would go on to add 4 additional coffee shops (Chambersburg, Harrisburg, Dickinson College, Mechanicsburg) with plans to continue retail expansion throughout Central Pennsylvania. In January 2020, Tony's role was solidified with a co-ownership agreement.

With growing retail and wholesale operation, it was clear Denim Coffee would soon outgrow their studio space and a building was purchased in nearby Chambersburg, PA. The building, a former ice factory and fall-out shelter, was renovated and Denim Coffee relocated roasting and bakery operations to the new headquarters. With the addition of a new IMF Roaster in the Summer of 2023, Denim Coffee now has the space, equipment and capacity to grow for years to come.

Proudly rooted in Central Pennsylvania, Denim Coffee exists for and because of its customers. Its singular mission is to make better coffee for their customers and wholesale partners.
