Who we are

At Lily Bean Coffee Company, we’re passionately crafting exceptional coffee that tells a story. Founded by Ryan and Melissa Sternberg, our New Jersey-based, family-run business began in our home kitchen, where we roast and package globally sourced coffee beans under the state’s Cottage Food Operator’s Permit. Every bean we select reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and fair-trade practices, ensuring a delicious cup that supports farmers and the environment.

From our humble beginnings selling at local farmers’ markets and delivering directly to our New Jersey neighbors, we’re brewing big dreams. Lily Bean Coffee Company is on a journey to grow into a cozy community coffee shop and a trusted wholesale supplier, bringing our artisanal roasts to cafes and homes nationwide. Our future subscription service will deliver freshly roasted beans to your door, keeping you connected to the rich flavors and values we cherish.

We believe coffee is more than a drink - it’s a moment to connect, savor, and share. Whether you’re enjoying our handcrafted blends at home or joining us at a local market, you’re part of our story. Thank you for supporting our vision to create a sustainable, community-focused coffee experience. Stay tuned as we grow from our home-roasted roots to your future favorite coffee destination!
