Begin Your Day at the Starting Gate.

Starting Gate Coffee started with a simple idea from Scott and Liz Hack: coffee is better when it's shared. What began as a way to give people something worth savoring — instead of the usual forgettable giveaway — grew into a coffee brand of its own. Rooted in the Louisville area, Starting Gate Coffee is a family project built around a simple belief: a good cup of coffee is a great way to start something — a morning, a conversation, a relationship.
