Introducing: Riot Coffee

We're thrilled to announce that Riot Coffee is officially on sale, brought to you by Compton's Table and Ember + Forge! Ember + Forge is located at 401 State Street, Erie, PA.

This isn't just any bag of beans. Riot Coffee was created to honor the legacy of queer resistance-named after the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot, where trans women stood their ground and sparked a movement by throwing coffee in the face of oppression.

Each purchase of Riot Coffee directly supports Compton's Table's free programs for queer and trans youth and young adults in Northwestern PA.

And we didn't stop at the beans.

We're proud to offer handmade, limited edition Riot Coffee mugs designed by a local artist, celebrating the artistry and resilience that defines our community. These mugs are small-batch and one-of-a-kind so be sure to grab yours.

Head to Ember + Forge in downtown Erie today to grab your bag of Riot Coffee and your limited-edition mug while supplies last.

Brew boldly. Sip with purpose.
