ABOUT US

Banjo was created in 2015 during a change of course season of life. After 10 years in marketing (me, Chasidy) and 10 years in acting (Billy), we wanted to finally launch that (insert idea of the week) business that we could call our own. Billy was training for an ultramarathon (note: he had never run a marathon before) and I was running after a toddler and WFH full time. We started experimenting with our cold brew coffee recipe out of necessity (7 years ago cold brew coffee was hard to come by in Atlanta). One mason jar concoction led to another led to a brand name and the rest is history.

We launched our bottled (now canned) products in farmers markets around Atlanta, got them in Whole Foods, and ran ragged for 2 years getting our brand out there at events, festivals, home parties….you name it.

Our first brick and mortar opened the day after Christmas 2016 in Avondale Estates, GA. We launched our Piedmont Park location and our “Showboat” (coffee trailer) this past summer. You’ll still see us at Brookhaven Farmers Market and Grant Park Farmers Market on the weekends and our cans in Whole Foods, as well as, many specialty retailers around ATL. You might even find our coffee on tap at your office.

We are grateful for a strong team that supports the retail, (coffee) brewery, farmers markets, and wholesale. We are equally as grateful for an amazing community that propped us up during Covid times and continues to support us daily. We love giving back to you!

We thought we knew the company we wanted to build, but through the past 7 years it built something for us instead…..a home.
