In 1919, a coffee legend was born out of a family home in the north corner of Baton Rouge. Cap Saurage, the founder of Community Coffee, began grinding, brewing and serving his own coffee to friends and family, naming the popular beverage in appreciation for his city and its people.
The Community Coffee brand has seen many changes in the nearly 100 years since.
The company has introduced several new products, completely redesigned CC’s packaging, logo and coffee house interiors, and launched the Saurage family’s signature outreach program, CC’s Cares, which has promoted childhood health and education for more than 30 years.
