Positive Pressure

Little Waves Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster based in Durham, North Carolina, built around the philosophy of being open-hearted, Latina-led, and women-forward. They focus on quality, relationships, and impact—sourcing single origins, crafting blends, and offering rare Peak Coffee selections like their Good Food Award-winning Río Dulce Gesha. Roast styles range from light and bright to full-bodied and chocolatey, with decaf and subscriptions for regular deliveries. Beyond roasting, they run multiple café locations across Durham's neighborhoods—Old North Durham, Old West Durham, and Lakewood—under the Cocoa Cinnamon name. They ship across the US with free shipping on orders over $45, making them a local fixture with serious reach.
