Veteran-Owned Coffee — Fork in the Road Coffee | U.S. Army Veteran Founded

Veteran-Owned Coffee, Roasted to Order

Fork in the Road Coffee is a U.S. Army veteran-owned and family-operated specialty coffee roastery based in Spring, Texas. Every bag we roast is backed by the same values Jason brought home from the Army: precision, discipline, and an absolute refusal to cut corners. When you buy from us, you're supporting a veteran-owned small business doing what we love, one small batch at a time.


Our Story

It started with a gallon of cold brew and a Costco hot dog.

It was 2020. The world had just locked down. Jason, a U.S. Army veteran and former operations manager for a global oil and gas company in Houston, was wooing Jamie with the only weapon available during a pandemic: homemade cold brew coffee, delivered weekly to her door. It worked. They got married.

Five years later, corporate America handed Jason a "restructuring" notice. Jamie was grinding through her own dead-end work. They looked at each other, looked at the road ahead, and saw a fork.

They chose the one that smelled like fresh roasted coffee.

Fork in the Road Coffee launched as a mobile Coffee Shop on Wheels, a specialty espresso bar on wheels serving weddings, corporate events, fairs, and festivals across Texas and beyond. The roastery followed. What started as a gallon of cold brew delivered from a truck is now a full specialty coffee operation roasting 33+ coffees to order for customers across the country.

Every bag typically ships within 24 hours of roasting. Every order supports a veteran-owned family business that chose coffee over corporate America, and never looked back.


Why Buy Veteran-Owned Coffee?

There are a lot of places to buy coffee. Here's why it matters where you buy it from.

When you order from Fork in the Road Coffee, your money goes directly to a veteran-owned small business — not a publicly traded corporation, not a private equity roll-up, not a brand that sources mystery beans and calls it "artisan." You're buying from Jason and Jamie, who hand-select every coffee in the shop, curate each order, and ship it the next business day after roasting.

The specialty coffee industry is full of big brands with slick packaging and warehouse-aged beans. We're not that. We're a veteran-owned specialty coffee company that got into this business because we love coffee and wanted to build something worth waking up for. Every order helps us keep doing that.

  • Precision in curation — every bag is selected for a specific flavor profile and brewing purpose. We don't carry coffee we wouldn't drink ourselves.
  • Reliability in shipping — every bag is roasted to order and shipped the next business day. No pre-roasted inventory sitting on shelves going stale.
