About Us

In the late 2000s, we started talking with anyone who would listen about the inextricable link between coffee and cycling. On long rides, during coffee shop stops, we talked and talked about cycling and coffee. Coffee and cycling. All. The. Time. 

One groggy Saturday morning while lining up for a 6:30 AM race, we sucked on a caffeinated gel and thought, "Wouldn't a doppio be SO MUCH BETTER?"

As we trained and raced in Prospect Park, Central Park, and Floyd Bennett Field, we kept thinking about how to deliver great coffee to all cycling fanatics: commuters, racers, randonneurs, mountain bikers, cross racers, fixie fanatics, and track racers, it didn't matter. We are all bike geeks. And we are all coffee geeks.

In summer 2012, we took the plunge and started preparations for the launch of Grimpeur Bros. Specialty Coffee. Our coming out party was at CrossVegas / Interbike where we launched with two espressos and two single origins. Then we hosted the world at our secret pop-up coffee shop at the Cyclocross World Championships in Louisville.

Fast forward to today where Grimpeur Bros. Specialty Coffee:

  • Roasts specialty coffee and espresso to order in New York AND Texas
  • Offers a specialty coffee lineup of 8-15 different coffees and espressos at any one time
