Who We Are

A group of coffee lovers, faith-driven people, and community builders – committed to making generosity as accessible as a great cup of coffee.
“Coffee brings people together and opens hearts - generosity is the ripple effect.”

Our Story

In 2020, Generous Java began with a bold mission: serve truly great coffee to those in need. Led by our founder, David Carolan, our team spent a year delivering thousands of cups of freshly-roasted coffee to ministries serving Austin’s homeless community.

The positive response inspired us to think bigger - what if coffee could spark generosity on a larger scale?

From church gatherings to city events, sharing coffee became our way of passing along warmth and creating space for conversations about living generously.

“Coffee brings people together and opens hearts - generosity is the ripple effect.”

We believe generosity is contagious – and everyone, not just the wealthy, should be equipped to experience its joy.
