Rooted in Family, Powered by Purpose

Nossa Familia Coffee is a standout name in Portland’s thriving specialty coffee scene—not just for the quality of its beans, but for the mission behind them. Founded by Augusto Carneiro, whose family has grown coffee in Brazil since the 1890s, Nossa Familia brings generations of agricultural tradition to the Pacific Northwest. Their name, meaning “Our Family” in Portuguese, reflects both their heritage and their deep commitment to community, sustainability, and relationships.

Direct Trade With Deep Brazilian Roots

Nossa Familia’s sourcing model is built on direct trade principles, focusing primarily on beans from their own family farms in Brazil, along with partnerships in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Peru. This direct connection allows them to prioritize fair pricing, environmental stewardship, and long-term grower relationships—ensuring traceability and transparency from seed to cup. Their beans are known for rich, chocolatey profiles that reflect the terroir of the regions they come from.

Carbon Neutral and Sustainability Focused

Few roasters walk the talk on sustainability like Nossa Familia. They are one of Portland’s first carbon-neutral coffee companies, with aggressive climate action strategies that include carbon offsetting, green energy use, and zero-waste café operations. Their efforts have earned recognition from Sustainable Business Oregon and B Corp certification, reinforcing their reputation as an ethical leader in the industry. Whether it’s sourcing, roasting, or waste reduction, they consider the long-term impact of every decision.

Nossa Familia operates several café locations around Portland, each with its own charm but a shared commitment to community, hospitality, and excellent coffee. From their Pearl District espresso bar to the vibrant Seven Corners café, customers can expect expertly brewed drinks, approachable staff, and cozy interiors perfect for work or conversation.
