We want you to know that Detroit Bold coffee comes with a mission. Our vision is to use Detroit Bold coffee to do GOOD and be BOLD!

We define that as giving back to those in need whenever we can.

We constantly avail ourselves to provide an excellent product that does GOOD for our neighbors and in the community.

We donate coffee to lots of organizations and support schools, churches, homeless shelters, and other worthy causes, usually without fanfare.

We’ve always endeavored to keep these things out of the public eye because we don’t do good deeds for publicity. We do it because we feel that having the name Detroit Bold carries the responsibility to do our best to not leave anyone behind; even if its just a cup of coffee on a cold day.

All we hope for is that you become a part of that by purchasing our coffee. We promise that all of our coffee is packed fresh and delicious.

We don’t have a high-paying position anywhere in our company! The more coffee we sell, the more we give back. It’s YOUR purchase that allows us to do what we do.

So thank you for supporting us through your purchase. We LOVE it when you choose Detroit Bold among the many coffee selections there are in stores. We LOVE when you order online and LOVE when you ask stores to carry our product when they don’t. We really LOVE when you share with us your many wonderful stories!

We’re going to share more of what we do in the community going forward because you should know. We think its the best way to do business and wouldn’t want to do it any other way.

Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!

AJ

Last Friday, the Detroit Bold coffee team made a visit to the Plymouth Community Arts Council event. Naturally, with coffee in hand.  

Mr. Tim Tonachella was featured at the Plymouth Community Art Council last Friday. He featured several amazing shots of Detroit. Tim is a talented photographer from Taylor, MI who spends most of his time taking beautiful shots of our lovely city of Detroit. We felt it was important to be there to support his work. 

Tim Tonachella said, “I took photos in Detroit because I love this city and it means a lot to me. This city made me the person who I am now and I have pride in these photos of my city.” 

The experience is much more than visual. It’s intelligent, it’s something you place yourself into. It’s extreme. It drives you to develop deeper thoughts. We welcome you to check out Tim’s work and not think at a higher level. On the off chance that you have never been to this show, you are welcome to visit next year!

The Detroit Bold team enjoyed their time at the PCAC. We are committed to engaging in the community and promoting all that is good about Detroit! 

Anyone can be a Detroit Bold!

Try our various styles here & let’s all keep propelling this beautiful city forward!

We had some fun with Liam McIlroy, Director of the Detroit Youth Lacrosse program, at the Eastern Market last Saturday. We couldn’t help but quote him on Detroit Bold Coffee! He said, “It’s the coffee around! It’s people who make it, it’s the people who drink it, and it’s the community it creates. Coffee brings people together [and] this is the best!”

Liam is a community enthusiast and spends much of his time empowering the Detroit youth through mentorship and coaching. We think the leadership this program is providing the youth in the city of Detroit will make a great impact. Thank you for all your service!

One of our strongest beliefs as a company is to give back and engage in our community. It is so critically important for businesses to learn how to create and set down their roots in areas where they can make the most significant impact.

To us at Detroit Bold, being significant is everything. Founder, AJ O’Neil, built Detroit Bold Coffee Company with the vision of being a catalyst for positive change in a city with a bleak outlook. And he chose a neighborhood that was negatively affected the most by decades of an economic downturn, Highland Park.

Positive change can happen from just one person. Detroit Bold Coffee Company is proof that one person can make an impact. The economic impact of Detroit Bold has created new jobs, helped local charities, fueled hard-working people everywhere, and brought enormous amounts of positive attention to a neighborhood and a city that HAD a bad rep.

Things have changed and are continuing to improve. The Motor City works hard. We make things. We have grit because we don’t let fleeting moments get us down. Great people live in Detroit, and as a result of their determination to rebound, great people are now moving in by the thousands! We are so incredibly proud to be DETROIT PROUD, DETROIT STRONG, and DETROIT BOLD. However, our job has just started!

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – Dr. Seuss.

Founder, AJ O’Neil roasting fresh, delicious coffee in Detroit

Detroit has not fully rebounded, and there is a much room for improvement. We believe that our job of making a difference and impact in the community has just begun. We are committed to making our delicious hand-crafted, hand-packed coffee that will continue to bring a positive effect on our beloved city. We hope you will join us in our continued efforts by choosing to enjoy our refreshingly smooth, yet BOLD coffee the next time you buy coffee online or at your local grocery store.

Thank you Jack Lessenberry for sitting down with AJ O’Neil at AJ’s favorite coney, Red Hots Coney Island. You can read his recent article “Hope for Highland Park?” where he and AJ discuss the past, present, and future of Highland Park.

STAY BOLD with our New 8 Mile Coffee Blend!
