Opo Coffee
Opo Coffee is a coffee company located inside the Perimeter on the eastside of Atlanta, GA. The company’s founder, Jonathan Pascual, says this about his company:
“In my Filipino household growing up, I learned to always consider honor and respect towards others. Those values are hard-wired into the culture and language – in gestures used in greetings, in the honorific titles you use to address anyone who’s older, and in the polite and respectful forms of words and phrases.
The word “opo” means “yes” (with respect). I couldn’t think of a better word that would give a nod to my ethnic heritage and also encapsulate our company values of positivity, respect, and honor.
Opo Coffee is an Atlanta-based specialty coffee company serving in roasting, retail, and education with a values-based, holistic-impact approach. It’s the latest step in my journey in coffee and business that has previously included opening several coffee bars and the establishment of Taproom Coffee & Beer in the Kirkwood neighborhood of Atlanta.
Opo is a communal effort from its inception, launching with a team of veteran coffee professionals and a wide community of stakeholders. I’m grateful to every person who chooses to be on this journey with us, and I’m excited to see the ways we’ll collectively make a positive impact in people’s lives throughout the world using specialty coffee.”
