our story
NIGHT SKY COFFEE
Night Sky Coffee Roasters is a small batch coffee company rooted in Northeast Georgia and built on curiosity, community, and a love for a truly great cup. Founded by Charlie, an astronomer, and Millie, a microbiologist, Night Sky began as a shared pursuit blending science, craft, and a sense of wonder into every roast.
Before we had a storefront, we were showing up early at the Barrow County Farmers Market, pouring coffee, meeting neighbors, and learning what our community truly wanted in their cup. That experience shaped everything. It was never just about great coffee. It was always about connection.
Today, we are proud to celebrate two years of our café in downtown Winder, and we are just getting started. Whether you are grabbing your morning ritual or settling in for a conversation, we want our space to feel welcoming, thoughtful, and full of life.
We are committed to sourcing and roasting high quality coffee with integrity while supporting sustainability, social responsibility, and fairness throughout the supply chain. From farmers and importers to our team and customers, we believe everyone should benefit from being part of the Night Sky Coffee family.
More than anything, we are here to share, serve, listen, and grow alongside our community. We are glad you are here.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Every bean we roast at Night Sky Coffee has a story. From the roots of the coffee plants, to the family roots that hold the farms together, from us to you, we are all part of that story. By paying a fair price at every stage for the work that goes into every bean, we are building a business model that will be around long after us for generations to enjoy. And this is a quality that we think our patrons can stand behind.
We believe that holding ourselves to high standards, running a responsible business, and treating all with respect creates a community for everyone.
