For Ed Lane, David Lane, and William Rankin, Atlanta natives and the co-founders of Blue Donkey Coffee, coffee isn’t just a morning drink – it’s a passion. Their love affair with the bean began abroad, where they were captivated by the intricacies of micro-roasted coffee and the vibrant cultures of domestic roasting and brewing. This appreciation sparked a burning desire to create something special, something that would elevate the coffee experience beyond the confines of a traditional cup.

Their quest for the perfect cup led them on an unexpected path – the path of craft iced coffee. Intrigued by the untapped potential of this refreshing beverage, they embarked on a journey of experimentation. Months were spent meticulously selecting ingredients, testing brewing methods, and meticulously crafting recipes. The result? A revelation. When their creation was unveiled to friends and family, it was met with an outpouring of enthusiasm.

This positive response fueled their entrepreneurial spirit. Blue Donkey Coffee took its first steps at local farmers markets, where their innovative iced coffee creations quickly captured the hearts (and taste buds) of Atlanta’s coffee connoisseurs. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, a testament to the dedication and care poured into every cup.

Blue Donkey didn’t stop there. Buoyed by their success, they expanded their reach, establishing retail locations and pop-up stands throughout the Atlanta area. Their focus remains unwavering: crafting exceptional iced coffee experiences alongside a curated selection of meticulously sourced, high-quality coffee products.
