Cup of Ambition is Dolly Parton’s signature coffee line and a dream of hers for more than 40 years. It’s inspired by Dolly’s anthem “9 to 5” and crafted to reflect her warmth, optimism, and hardworking spirit. Above all, Cup of Ambition is meant to bring a smile to those chasing their dreams.

For years, Dolly dreamed of creating a coffee brand that would bring people together over great conversation, warm memories, and a really good cup of coffee.

We developed Cup of Ambition coffees in partnership with Dolly, and we continue to roast them just how she liked. Our continued partnership is built on a shared appreciation for quality coffee, family, and community. 

We’re honored to share Dolly’s Cup of Ambition with the world, and to play a small part in carrying her legacy forward. 

Cup of Ambition will be available online and in stores starting September 29, 2026. 

You can also enjoy the coffees in the Cup of Ambition Café at Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, located off Exit 22 on I-65 south of Nashville, Tennessee.
