June Coffee is a specialty roaster and café based in Birmingham, Alabama, that emphasizes clarity and balance in its roasting process. Founded in 2018 by Jimmy Truong, the company began as a wholesale supplier before opening its own public-facing storefront in 2022. The brand is dedicated to creating approachable yet complex coffee profiles through careful roasting and direct relationships with importers. By intentionally avoiding dark roast profiles, the roastery focuses on light-to-medium roasts that highlight the inherent character of the bean. The café has become a prominent fixture in Birmingham's downtown district, known for its minimalist aesthetic and a menu that balances traditional espresso drinks with creative, signature offerings.
