Howdy! We're Tony and Devin
We’re passionate about coffee—absolutely. But we’re even more passionate about people. Every coffee shop talks about “community,” but for us it’s not just a buzzword—it’s who we are at our core. We’re beyond excited to open our doors and serve you right here in Northlake, TX. Our first brick-and-mortar café arrives Spring 2026.
About
How Function Coffee Co. came to be
I started drinking coffee at the ripe age of Child. I remember it like it was yesterday… Standing in my grandparent’s kitchen in Beeville, TX my mother asked if I’d like to try it. She put some coffee in a red mug with a ton of milk and 6 scoops of sugar.
Of course I thought it tasted like liquid magic.
Fast forward a few years and my taste buds became a little more adult-ish as I started to hone my palette working for several coffeeshops in NYC and LA.
Now back home in TX: I set up a Bellwether Roaster—the first and only zero emission coffee roaster in Northlake, TX—and the rest is history.
Thanks for drinking,
Tony
We're on a mission to make specialty coffee approachable
When Tony fell in love with coffee, it was right before the start of the third-wave movement. Unfortunately with that movement came a whole-lotta snobbery in the coffee-world.
We want this forth-wave of coffee to be the opposite. We want to focus on bringing joy to everyone's lives through coffee. Through space and community. We want to focus on inclusivity. We want to focus on transparency and breaking down pretentious walls.
