INVEST IN HUMBLEMAKER COFFEE TODAY!
Functional beverages are the next big wave – and we’re on it. The thirst for functional beverages is growing with nearly two thirds (65%) of U.S. consumers reportedly seeking added benefits in their food and beverages while the Specialty Coffee market is skyrocketing and projected to reach $42.4 billion globally by 2027.
We’re expanding: new cafés + big distribution. This investment round will fund 4 new Humblemaker café locations and drive exponential revenue growth in our brick & mortar channel, and in April 2021 we launched with UNFI, the largest distributor of health and specialty food in the North America - with 100+ grocery and retail locations already signed up, we’re just getting started.
Built to scale and exit: It is our plan to grow our café footprint, expand retail distribution nationally and scale our online subscribership with the objective of seeking acquisition by a strategic, global CPG partner.
overview
We’re disrupting the market with our innovative approach to coffee with “Crafted Wellness in Every Cup” at our brick & mortar retail shops by offering a wellness benefit in every cup of coffee, espresso drink, and cold brew we serve.
Our fresh & functional wellness cold brew coffee shots contain zero sugars, zero calories and zero sweeteners brewed with natural ingredients & organic coffee. Zero Tastes Better™
We draw inspiration from the pioneering spirit of our home state of California: from colorful surf culture to the endless wilderness of the Sierras. We use ethically sourced, organic ingredients whenever possible – while taking great effort to reduce our environmental impact through our products, processes, and packaging.
Our mission is not just to create craft premium coffee, but to shape an incredible future for children living with autism through opportunities to experience surfing, music, and the great outdoors. We are driven to create a community around our vision and leave a lasting legacy of positivity. Over each peak and through every valley – to join you on life’s biggest adventures.
Fuel the Journey.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This last year, we were all reminded of the importance of health and wellness. More and more people are looking for ways to incorporate functional benefits into their normal diets. Nearly two thirds of U.S. consumers reported seeking added functional benefits from their everyday food and beverages. However, finding prepared or pre-made drinks that have your wellness in mind is generally still a challenge. Many coffee beverages on the market contain sugar and additives that aren’t good for you.
*National Coffee Association
**Beverage Daily
With this many Americans drinking coffee daily and a majority consumers seeking healthier drink options post-COVID, everyone should have the option to choose a drink that caters to their health and needs.
THE ANSWER
Humblemaker is disrupting the market with our innovative approach to coffee at our brick & mortar shops by adding a wellness benefit in every cup of delicious craft coffee, espresso drink, and cold brew we serve.
We’ve flipped the average coffee shop experience on its head. At our brick & mortar locations, we ask customers what type of wellness they want. We believe that customers should always have options.
Our Seal Beach flagship has proven our model works and has created thousands of loyal customers - now, with your help, we’re expanding to Ventura, West Los Angeles, Lake Arrowhead and San Pedro in the year to come as we strategically expand our footprint.
Our Flagship and Proof of Concept: opened 2019

Cold Brew Shots: Zero Tastes Better™
We also created innovative ready-to-drink cold brew coffee shots which are convenient, healthy, sugar-free, zero-calorie and organic. Sold in 60 ml bottles, the coffee shots are portable and easy to bring with you on the day’s journey. Each blend is made with premium coffee and wellness supplements designed to support a healthy lifestyle and boost your energy with 115mg of caffeine. Our shots are already carried by some of the nation’s most reputable retailers like Central Market, Gelson’s and Lassen’s and we’re just getting started with 2 of the nation’s largest beverage distributors, UNFI and KeHe, in our corner and ready to take us wider as we further capitalize our growth.
Tinctures: Four Functional Formulas – Designed Just for Coffee
And we didn’t stop there. It is important to us to empower the everyday coffee consumer to find their own perfect fit and wellness function, so we created water-soluble, virtually flavorless, wellness tinctures designed specifically to add to any coffee. With access to both our coffee and wellness formula tinctures online and in our cafes, a healthier cup of coffee is now an option for anyone.
Whether you are a coffee aficionado, a conscious consumer, an adventurer, or an everyday family member…Humblemaker provides wellness with a caffeinated kick.
Omni-Channel Ecosystem: Three Paths to Success
Retail: Cold brew shot sales reached $100k with 140+ active doors. We project to have 5,000 points of distribution by 2024.
Direct to Consumers: We are building our base of repeat customers. In 2020 we hit $15k in total online sales, and project to reach $50k in total online sales in 2021. We will add exclusive content and loyalty programs to build traction.
Brick and Mortar stores: Humblemaker Cafes are community hubs offering music, art, and events to bring the local community together. Our flagship store at Seal Beach opened in 2019 and is making a profit of over $25k in sales per month. In 2020, the store reached an annual revenue of $225k in sales, and is projected to reach $1.3mm sales by 2022. Our San Pedro storefront was selected to be the exclusive coffee vendor for West Harbor development projected to open in Spring 2023.
THE MARKET
Overall, the global coffee shops market is projected to be worth $237.6 billion by 2025. The market increased 3.3% between 2019 and 2020 – from $45.4 billion to $47.5 billion. Not only that, the global functional beverage market was noted as being worth $102 billion in 2020 and is projected to continuously grow to $135 billion by 2025.
In 2017, the cold brew coffee market was worth around $166 million and is projected to reach $994.16 million in 2025. Also on the rise is the global ready to drink coffee market, which is expected to hit $42.36 billion in earnings by 2027.
The coffee market has experienced several acquisitions with multiples as high as 12x Revenue from the likes of Blue Bottle, Super Coffee, La Colombe, Stumpton and Forto at an average valuation of $377M. We believe there has never been a better time to marry the two national interests.
Our Traction: The Energy That Keeps Moving Us Forward
In 2019, our signature cold brew coffee shots won Semi-Finalist at the New Beverage Showdown at BevNet Santa Monica. Around that same time, the first Brick and Mortar Humblemaker cafe opened.
In May of 2021 we launched with UNFI and today, over 140 stores have committed to stocking our product in Southern California through UNFI, the largest national food and beverage distributor.
In the next 24 months, we plan to have Humblemaker wellness shots distributed nationally to premium grocers and big box stores.

Things are heating up as our StartEngine campaign is winding down – but not to worry - there’s still time to invest. Our new Ventura, California-based, 2-story container concept café and courtyard is now fully open and ahead of revenue expectations for its first full calendar month of operations. The fast start has resulted in increased revenue of over 120% year-over-year in the trailing 30 days and the company tracking for our biggest revenue month in the brand’s young history.
“We’re already seeing $2,000-plus days at the Ventura location and we’re in the infancy of building a loyal, local customer base that knows we’re here, has their favorite go-to drink and will come back with a friend,” said Chris Smith, Humblemaker co-founder. “Our flagship Seal Beach café is still growing quarter over quarter and Seal is over 2 years old, so this is an amazing start for the Ventura location.”
“The new location is helping us to acquire hundreds of new customers every week and collect thousands of email addresses, which allows us to cross-promote our ready-to-drink cold brew shots at local grocery stores as well as our online whole bean and wellness formula subscription programs…it’s a nice little flywheel model that we believe will drive our success as an omni-channel, lifestyle coffee brand.”
Located in downtown Ventura adjacent to great shopping, the Mission San Buenaventura and Ventura farmers market, the Humblemaker Ventura café brings its unique model of adding wellness benefits and function to artisan craft coffee to a beach community that is already receiving the brand with open arms and full cups.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
