Greenway Coffee

Founded in 2009 by David Buehrer, Ecky Prabanto, and Niken Prabanto, Greenway Coffee operates on the principle that quality stems from strong relationships—with farmers, production facilities, roasting staff, and café customers. The company sources coffee from long-standing partnerships with indigenous coffee operations across four regions of the world, distinguishing each origin by bag color and offering blended roasts in white bags bearing its signature multi-color G. Environmental stewardship is central to Greenway's operations: the roastery uses a Loring Kestrel roaster that consumes 80% less gas than traditional drum roasters, resulting in 100,000 fewer pounds of CO2 emissions annually compared to similarly sized companies. The company has also transitioned to mostly biodegradable packaging. Greenway Coffee is a majority minority-owned business with a majority of women owners who immigrated to the United States, and the company maintains fair pay standards and consciously questions the status quo in both its coffee and business operations.
