Roasted for the Neighborhood
TellTale was born in the Lower Ninth Ward with a conviction
that coffee can be more than a product — it can be a catalyst.
For us, every bag, every cup, every roast carries the weight of a neighborhood’s story
and the hope of its future. In a community long defined by what was taken, we’re
working to build what lasts: meaningful jobs, space for local entrepreneurs to grow,
and a gathering place where culture and creativity can flourish.
The Lower Nine deserves more than survival — it deserves renewal.
That’s why we roast with purpose, brew with memory, and serve
with vision: so that each sip helps carry forward the
resilience and beauty of this place we call home.
Single Bag Purchases
One Gift. Twelve Months of Great Coffee. Endless Impact.
This gift creates a meaningful impact—both for the person that receives it and for the Lower Ninth Ward community. When you give a 12-month coffee subscription, your friend, colleague, or family member will receive a 10oz bag of high-quality coffee each month for a full year. At the same time, your purchase helps fund job training, youth mentorship, and creative programming for residents in the Lower Ninth Ward. The subscription is a one-time gift (no automatic renewal), and the first shipment arrives gift-wrapped with a note letting them know 11 more monthly deliveries are on the way. You can also select the occasion—whether it’s a birthday, holiday, or special milestone—and it will be acknowledged in the wrapping.
