• Sunday Morning Coffee CompanyFounded by Savannah Mitchell, Sunday Morning Coffee Company is a Black woman-owned roaster producing specialty Arabica blends that are roasted locally and shipped fresh. Its coffee grew from a bootstrapped brand into Sunday Morning at Savannah’s, a coffee lounge and hospitality destination set in a 200-year-old manor in New Windsor, Maryland. The company works with small-scale family farmers in coffee-growing regions worldwide and frames its coffee as part of a broader effort to expand Black representation in specialty coffee and hospitality.MILLERSVILLE, MD
