Our Mission

Our mission at Thornton Family Coffee Roasters is to share our experience with coffee lovers in the community we love in the form of a fantastic cup of coffee. We work to create a sustainable business for our family, friends, and the local community we live and run our coffee business in.  

Our Vision

Our vision is to become the leading premium specialty coffee roaster, through retail and wholesale channels in the Pacific Northwest. We want to present a hand-crafted coffee culture to these areas, reflecting the Pacific Northwest’s well known unique cultural reputation for great coffees and foods, and expand this reputation across America. We want to put West Portland and Thornton Family Coffee Roasters on the map through practicing, fostering, presenting, and educating innovation in coffee. We want our family business to grow, prosper, and exist with our future generations. 

Our Values

We are honest and respectful to each other, our friends, and our customers. 

We take our business and our customer’s business seriously. We strive to find a mutually beneficial collaboration, and find what all of us need to improve and grow our businesses.

We never compromise quality and work hard to protect investments in qualities we buy and sell. 

There is an entire world of people trying to make a living growing coffee, so we respect and support the continuation of coffee producers of all qualities.

We are dedicated to sustainability, food safety, and the wellness of our supply chain and customers.

We know a lot, but we have a lot to learn. We believe when we stop listening, we stop learning. We consider everyone’s point of view and work to understand them.
