Karol Coffee Co. started as Nate and Megan Whipple’s dream to build a neighborhood coffee shop in the Twin Cities. It began with roasting coffee and a building out a coffee camper, and turned into a brick-and-mortar shop in Como Park, St. Paul, built alongside a supportive community of family and friends.

Named after Karol Wojtyła (Pope St. John Paul II), Karol Coffee Co. is inspired by Karol's spirit of adventure, creativity, and deep appreciation for beauty and human connection. Karol Coffee Co. exists to carry that spirit forward, serving great coffee while cultivating a space rooted in wonder, community, and a life well lived.
