Thanksgiving Coffee Wins GOLD

A Heartfelt Thank You From the Mendocino Coast

We are honored - and humbled - to share that Thanksgiving Coffee Company has been awarded the 2025 Readers’ Choice GOLD Award for Best Coffee in Lake & Mendocino Counties.

This one means a lot.

For more than 52 years, our roasting team has kept the fires burning here on the Fort Bragg harbor, crafting ethical, sustainable coffee as a daily practice of gratitude. To be recognized by our own community, our neighbors, and our longtime customers is the greatest award we could receive.

From everyone here on the Mendocino coast:

Thank you for your loyalty, your morning rituals, and your belief in small coastal craft. Thank you for choosing us, and standing with a small roaster with big convictions.
Not Just a Cup, But a Just Cup™.

Why This Award Matters

The Readers’ Choice Awards, presented by Mendo Lake Publishing Group, highlight local businesses chosen directly by the people who live here. There is no bigger honor than a community vote, because it reflects real relationships, real ritual, and real trust.

For Thanksgiving Coffee, this GOLD award celebrates:

• Half a century of artisan roasting on the Mendocino Coast
• Consistency of excellence across generations
• Our commitment to sustainable, ethically sourced coffee
• The legacy of Paul and Joan Katzeff, who helped build the specialty coffee movement
• You, our community that has supported us since 1972

A Ritual of Gratitude, Crafted Daily
