who we are :

At Hold Fast, our mission is simple: to provide excellent coffee with exceptional service. We’re in the business of people—creating spaces where guests feel known, and team members feel valued.

For over a decade, we’ve built long-term partnerships and a community rooted in quality, integrity, and care. We do things the right way—every time—and we’re proud to equip not only our wholesale partners, but also our team, to do the same.

Whether we’re welcoming someone into one of our cafés or supporting a wholesale partner behind the scenes, our focus is always on creating thoughtful, consistent experiences that make people feel at home. We believe great coffee is just the start—what really matters is the connection, hospitality, and heart behind it.

If that sounds like something you want to be a part of, we’d love to meet you.
