We got serious about starting a coffee company within the first few months of our marriage. We were married six months after meeting in the fall of ‘07. We sold a car. We used the money to move to Eugene OR and spent a year discovering the coffee culture of the Pacific Northwest.

Toward the end of our time in Oregon we sold our other car and bought an espresso machine. We shipped it home, and without a vehicle, we pedaled ourselves twenty two hundred miles back to Oklahoma. It was an adventure to say the least.

In 2010, we started looking at buildings in the OKC Plaza District and Victorian buildings in Downtown Guthrie when we stumbled upon this old garage.

It was hidden, dirty, full of junk, and otherwise completely impractical to be used as a cafe *we had to have it*. There were no lights, no electric, no water, no heat and air, and no bathroom. It was a dingy old garage but it had a beautiful wood ceiling - and we had a vision.

By the summer of 2012 we had done everything in our power and finally brought in the big guns to build our bathroom and coffee bar. It was a long road and we never really knew if we were wasting our time or not but we had faith and we got it done. We hope you feel love every time you walk into Hoboken.

We opened Hoboken Coffee Roasters in December 2012 and it’s been worth every second we spent scraping and saving to make it happen! Come see us in Guthrie, one of us is always here, we’d love to tell you more about how blessed we feel to be doing what we love.
