About Crane

A quiet passion for exceptional coffee

Crane Coffee was born from a simple belief: great coffee doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be done right, with care and respect for the craft.

Our founder Kris moved to Concord to be part of a community worth being part of. When The District Exchange opened — a gathering of independent businesses inside the city's historic former Cabarrus Theatre — it felt like home. That's where you'll find us.

The name 'Crane' reflects our philosophy: elegant, patient, purposeful. Like the bird, we believe in standing still, observing, and moving with intention.

Craft

Every detail matters, from sourcing to the final pour.

Care

Quality comes from caring deeply about what we do and who we serve.

Community

Coffee brings people together. We create spaces where connections happen naturally.

Sustainability

Coffee with a conscience

We believe how coffee is made matters as much as how it tastes. Every decision at Crane — from sourcing to your cup — is made with the environment in mind.

Fully Compostable Cups

Every cup, lid, and straw is made from plant-based compostable materials. Zero single-use plastic — no exceptions.

Crown Town Compost Partner

We partner with Crown Town Compost for weekly pickup, keeping our waste out of landfills and returning nutrients to the local soil.

Ethically Sourced Beans

Every bean we serve is thoughtfully sourced from farmers and cooperatives who share our commitment to quality and fair practice.

"We want to educate people about zero waste and knowing where their coffee comes from."

— Kris Zouzoulas, Owner · Crane Coffee Co.
