Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company

What Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company does

Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company, founded in 1984 in Tampa, Florida, is a privately held specialty coffee roaster and one of the earliest specialty roasters in the state. The company produces more than 100 coffee varieties developed by Roastmaster Chris de Mezzo, sourced from Specialty Grade Arabica beans (top 10% of global production), spanning whole bean, ground, cold brew, and hot cocoa SKUs alongside licensed co-branded collections for Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, and Girl Scouts. Operations cover roasting, e-commerce fulfillment, and brand licensing rather than café ownership.

The company serves three principal customer segments. Direct-to-consumer customers purchase through joffreys.com (Shopify platform) via three subscription tiers priced at $45–$51 per shipment and the V.I.B. loyalty program, with shipping available domestically and to Canada. Enterprise and on-premise customers are served through the company's role as the Official Specialty Coffee of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Vacation Club, with products available in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, Disney hotels, and Disney Cruise Line. A third segment comprises wholesale and foodservice accounts beyond the Disney relationship, including specialty retail and gift channels that carry Disney and Girl Scouts licensed products.

Revenue mechanics combine recurring DTC subscriptions, seasonal on-premise beverage programs (e.g., EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival), licensed brand royalty arrangements, and direct retail at parks, hotels, and cruise ships. In July 2026 the company announced a $14.7 million capital commitment to consolidate operations into a new Tampa headquarters, the largest disclosed capital deployment in the data set and a signal of infrastructure-led scaling. Founder Ted Abrams established the company in 1984 and the Roastmaster role remains a named, craft-anchored function.
