The Coffee Loft opened June 2000 to a coffee-thirsty audience. Fairhope was looking for something new, creative and hip. Fairhope was ripe for the specialty coffee experience and we gave it to them. We were the original with our drink style, customer service, music and funky atmosphere. Our many specialty coffee drinks hot, frozen, and iced were an instant success! 

Most people in the area had never heard of these drinks, much less the choices we gave them. I’d say most customers didn’t even know they wanted what we had until we opened… and we’ve kept that momentum going for 23 years. We keep rising even now.
