Column 15

Served at these locations and events: https://column15.com/find-us

At its core, Column15 is about providing the freshest, highest quality coffee. Whether it's through our hand-stamped bags of locally roasted coffee beans, specially crafted to reduce bitterness, or our Nitro-Cold Brew (creamy, straight black coffee infused with nitro), Co15 products won't have you looking back.

Having put together a dedicated core team of other like minded, passionate locals, the goal of this company is not just to bring craft coffee and beverages to the local community of Williamsburg, but to turn the peninsula area into a source of quality coffee for Virginia, with nitro cold brew as our flagship product. Column 15 offers a line of locally roasted coffee products that are uncompromising in quality by making the decision to only provide freshly roasted single origin, fair-trade, organically-sourced coffees. Blends pull coffee from unknown origins, so consumers don't know what’s in their cup or where it comes from but carefully crafted roast profiles can accentuate diverse flavors from beans of the same origin. Column 15 is transparent in their origins, so consumers can appreciate a coffee’s regional uniqueness, from the bold caramel and dark cherry notes of Colombia to the floral and fruity notes of Guatemala.
