Reed Hersma - Founder, Bandana Coffee

Our Story

Bandana Coffee was founded in 2018 out of a deep love for high-quality, thoughtfully roasted coffee. What began as a small passion project has grown into a thriving local brand serving Lawrence, KS and the surrounding area with premium single origin beans and custom blends.

Since day one, our focus has been on mastering the craft of small batch roasting. Every roast is carefully developed to bring out the best in each bean, whether it's a bright, citrusy African or a smooth, chocolatey Central/South American. We're committed to 3rd wave coffee values—transparency, traceability, and exceptional quality in every cup.

Over the years, we’ve built a loyal community of local coffee lovers and are proud to offer convenient local delivery in Lawrence and the surrounding region. Not in the area? No problem—we ship nationwide so anyone can enjoy Bandana Coffee, wherever they are.

Whether you're a seasoned coffee aficionado or just starting your journey, we invite you to taste the difference that fresh, small batch roasting makes.
