Our Story
Pro Patria started with the meeting of 2 veterans, at a Remembrance Day parade, developing into a friendship with daily breakfast and a cup of coffee at the local diner, and moving to Cameron’s front porch to accommodate the growing number of veterans, showing up for “buddy check” debriefing sessions and a good cup of coffee.
Realizing that coffee was more than just a jump start to the day, Ryan and Cameron realized the importance of connecting with like-minded people who have had similar experiences and struggles. Coffee became the binding agent between those who serve in every capacity, from active service members, veterans, first responders, and front-line workers serving our communities, and their families; fostering connection, camaraderie, and healing. With Ryan as the Visionaire, these regular coffee chats transformed into something more meaningful, changing the way veterans associate -through a cup of coffee. And so, the idea of Pro Patria Coffee came to be, on the front porch of a veteran’s home.
The success of Pro Patria demonstrates the way our patrons identifying with the brand: it is not a polite type of coffee. It is a loyal, strong and free brand. A brand that exemplifies our core values and gives you the freedom to choose the best part of your day.
