Saint Frank Coffee
Saint Frank Coffee is a San Francisco-based specialty coffee roaster founded in 2013, built on direct producer relationships and a philosophy of humble, people-centered service inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi.
Founded by Kevin Bohlin in 2013 and named after San Francisco—with a nod to Saint Francis of Assisi—Saint Frank Coffee approaches its craft with what it describes as "simple and restrained elegance" centered on connection, quality, and community. The roaster emphasizes relational sourcing, traveling to build direct relationships with smallholder farmers in producing regions such as Honduras and Burundi. Saint Frank positions itself not as a technical transformer of raw material, but as the final step in translating a story that begins with farmers and mill workers. The company highlights the economic and cultural disparities between coffee producers and consumers, and views specialty coffee as a broader movement worth expanding. Its mission is to offer a sensory experience that honors both the people who grow the coffee and those who drink it, celebrating the unique terroir, varietals, and cultures behind each cup.
