The Good Coffee Cartel was established in 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland by co-founders Todd Whiteford and Courtney Patrick Brennan. The roastery gained recognition for its distinctive zero-waste approach to coffee distribution, supplying their beans in reusable and recyclable tin containers. Their flagship location in Kinning Park on Glasgow's Southside roasts coffee in-house and sources baked goods from local artisan suppliers. The roastery has built an international reputation through its commitment to ecological practices and high-quality specialty coffee available both locally and globally.
