Kangaroo Coffee Llc

What Kangaroo Coffee Llc does

Kangaroo Coffee LLC is a privately held specialty coffee house operator headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded in 2011. The company runs six physical coffee house locations—five in Colorado Springs and one in Trinidad (the Marketplace, opened in 2026)—serving organic coffee, espresso beverages, teas, smoothies, and artisan baked goods, with pastries sourced from local partner Gold Star Bakery. Its signature blend is a medium-and-dark-roast organic coffee sourced from Central American co-ops in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico, with ingredient inputs from supplier Routin-1883.

The business operates a hybrid physical-and-digital model. In-store service at the six retail locations is the core revenue stream, complemented by the "Hoppin' at Home" direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront on BigCommerce selling coffee beans, tumblers, mugs, and branded apparel, plus ToastTab-powered online ordering for pickup and delivery at all locations. Technology is intentionally light: no proprietary platform, no app, and no AI/ML capability disclosed; the stack is composed of off-the-shelf third-party SaaS for commerce, ordering, and event-calendar publishing.

The company is led by CEO Doug Hammond (appointed 2016) and is differentiated less by product uniqueness than by a community-anchored value proposition built on sustainability practices (the Zero Waste Initiative, with partners Goodie Bag and Food to Power) and a dense network of local organizational partnerships spanning healthcare (UCHealth), food banking (Care and Share), veterans' services (Mt. Carmel), youth programs (Colorado Youth Outdoors), conservation (Trails and Open Space Coalition), and the arts (Pikes Peak Art Council). Marketing is community-driven through Facebook, Instagram, and recurring in-store events including Poetry Meetup, Open Mic Night, and Co-Creative Art Meetup. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, is privately held by founding principals, and has no parent company, subsidiaries, or public-market exposure.
