We’ve tallied our customers’ votes! In New Haven, we’ll be supporting the CT Center for a New Economy, Elmseed, the New Haven Arts & Ideas Festival, and the CT Fund for the Environment. At the College Hill Cafe in the Brown Bookstore, we’ll be supporting Books are Wings, the Capital Good Fund, Crossroads Shelter, and the RI Chapter of the National MS Society.
At 300 Thayer, we’re adding a fifth cause: Marriage Equality RI.
Thanks to our customers for suggesting these wonderful and worthwhile causes. We’re so proud to be supporting them.

Blue State Coffee New Haven is now open for suggested causes we will support next quarter. As always, each Blue State Coffee location donates 5% of every sale to great organizations supporting its local community. The fiscal quarter starts soon, so, please, come into the store, make a purchase and suggest our next four great causes to support.

A few weeks ago I read an article in the New Haven Register about Holy Joe’s Cafe, a project of the First Congregational Church in Wallingford, CT. Since 2006, Holy Joe’s has collected and shipped over 105 tons of coffee to our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Donations come from individuals, corporations, churches, and other institutions.
Blue State Coffee is proud to support Holy Joe’s Cafe. Our New Haven store will make regular donations.
If you would like to support this extraordinarily important cause, please download the Holy Joe’s brochure here.
All of us, in our day-to-day lives, enjoy the benefits of a good cup of coffee. Let’s do our part to extend that experience to our troops.

Besides providing our customers with the freshest, most ecologically sound, and tastiest cup of Joe, we are proud to be able to donate a portion of our sales every quarter to progressive local and national causes that we believe in. We currently are donating 10% of every purchase made in-store and on this website.
During the months of January through March we were able to donate another $10,000 to the following important organizations:
We have now donated over $40,000 since we starting selling coffee in September of 2006!
Thank you for your support, these organizations appreciate it.

We are very proud to announce the release of our first CD- A State of Blue!
A State of Blue is a compilation CD to benefit the Fund for Community Progress, a Rhode Island not-for-profit federation that raises funds for its 26 local member agencies.
Each of the 11 tracks on the CD is from a different Rhode Island band- offering a slice of local rock from the 80’s, 90’s and today.
The Providence Phoenix gave us a nice write up in their most recent issue- read it here.
It is available for purchase on our website, at our store on 300 Thayer Street and several music stores in the Providence area.
We will soon have a CD page up on our website were you will be able to samples from the CD- check back soon!
