Civic Roasters is a third wave coffee company, based out of Tacoma, Washington. It was founded in 2018 by Benita Ki and her two friends, after years of imagining and dreaming how social entrepreneurship could help empower their community. Their vision for Civic Roasters is to provide ethically and sustainably sourced coffee, roasted perfectly for all people to enjoy, and to inspire greater connections across the city by providing training and employment to formerly incarcerated women.
