Tradition
Community Coffee Company is steeped in tradition as rich as our coffee. As the largest family-owned
retail coffee brand in the U.S., our company grew from a small country store in Baton Rouge
where more than 88 years ago, founder Henry Norman "Cap" Saurage brewed his popular coffee.
The coffee became so popular that he named it "Community" in honor of his loyal friends and customers.
Cap eventually turned his attention away from the grocery store and devoted all of his time and energy
to making great coffee.
Today, Community Coffee Company is so much a part of people's lives and spans so many generations that
it has been dubbed the State Coffee of Louisiana™. We invite you to enjoy this family tradition and
experience a little bit of Louisiana in every cup.
For four generations, the Saurage family of Louisiana has owned and operated Community Coffee Company.
In 1919, Henry Norman "Cap" Saurage discovered the secret of making this great-tasting coffee in his country
store in Dixie, Louisiana, near Baton Rouge. He named his coffee "Community" in honor of his community
of friends. Learn more
