Our friends at are raising capital from the community to build a new roasting facility and cafe in Highland Park, MI.

Martell Mason is co-founder and roaster for the Sepia Coffee Project and a native Highland Parker. In his own words:

One of the first indicators of development usually comes in the form of new eateries. While development certainly brings much needed investment to previously neglected neighborhoods, it also means the most vulnerable members of that community are often unable to reap the benefits of this growth. In an effort to improve the enclave's food and beverage industry, building our roasting facility in Highland Park and opening its FIRST specialty coffee shop would bring great opportunities to the city. A big impact with a great return.

We believe in the Sepia Coffee Project's mission!
