Meet the Owners
Nate is the founder of Karol Coffee Co., which started with his dream to one day open a coffee shop in the Twin Cities. After learning how to roast coffee, building out a mobile coffee camper, and now buying a brick-and-mortar in Como Park, he and his wife, Megan, are thrilled to soon open their doors to the neighborhood community. They have been supported and encouraged by a whole host of neighborhood friends who have helped make this dream a reality.
Who is Karol?
Karol Wojtyła (1920-2005) was a philosopher, theologian, poet, playwright, outdoorsman, and all-around badass. He helped establish the Polish Solidarity Movement and bring down communism in the Soviet Union. His poetry, literature, plays, and public speaking engagements are filled with themes of adventure, living a full life, creativity, appreciation for beauty, and human compassion. We are inspired by his life and work and want to embody his passions into the community we're building at Karol Coffee Co.!
"Faced with the sacredness of life and of the human person, and before the marvels of the universe, wonder is the only appropriate attitude."
- Karol Wojtyła
