Our Story

Coffee has always been a part of Nick & Ashley Conforti's story, beginning with their first date in 2008 over a cup of coffee. After moving to Charlotte in 2014, they developed a passion for supporting local coffee shops and dreamed of one day turning that passion into a family business that could also give back to the community. From that vision, Humble Cup was born.

What started in 2019 in their garage roasting coffee and selling it from the end of their driveway to neighbors quickly grew into something much bigger. In the early days, Nick and Ashley were literally walking bags of coffee and hot and iced coffee drinks to customers' front doors throughout their neighborhood. What began as a simple way to share their love of coffee with friends and neighbors soon became a local farmers market favorite. Their passion continued to evolve from a simple pop-up table, to a hand-built coffee cart, and eventually to a fully restored 1950s horse trailer transformed into a mobile coffee bar.

On January 7, 2023, they opened the doors to their first brick-and-mortar location at 414 Tom Hall Street in Fort Mill, South Carolina—a space where community comes together to share a love for coffee, conversation, and connection.

Community has always been at the heart of Humble Cup. Beyond serving great coffee, they are committed to supporting other local businesses and entrepreneurs. From sourcing pastries and baked goods from local vendors to hosting pop-up markets and showcasing small businesses inside the shop, Humble Cup strives to create opportunities for fellow local makers to grow and thrive alongside them.

Today, Humble Cup continues to be a gathering place built on hospitality, meaningful conversations, and strong community relationships. Whether you're stopping in for your daily coffee, meeting with friends, or discovering a new local vendor, you're helping support a business that believes in giving back and growing together.

Thank you for being a part of our story and our community.
