The Carabellos began roasting green coffee at home in a popcorn popper as a hobby, but quickly began selling the coffee to friends and co-workers and donating the money to an orphanage in Nicaragua.

“It started as a way to be more generous than our current part time teaching jobs allowed us to be,” says co-owner Emily Carabello.

The business – and personal – mission of Carabello’s is to responsibly source exceptional specialty coffees, artisan roast them to perfection, and then help build more sustainable lives for people in developing, coffee-producing nations with the profit. 

But their intention to make the world a better place also applies closer to home.

“We have lived in Newport for 12 years, and truly love this area,” says Carabello. “Having a coffee shop that is walkable for a community brings such life to the neighborhood! Meeting with friends, going on walks, and having a place to meet people is so important to a thriving community.”
