Gimme! Coffee is a coffee roaster and third-wave coffee shop, based in New York, with espresso bars in Ithaca and Trumansburg. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gimme! announced the permanent closure of the Manhattan and Brooklyn based locations and also began an Ithaca-area delivery service.[1][2] Gimme! Coffee also has a wholesale service that caters to coffee and espresso establishments.[3] In January 2020, Colleen Anunu replaced founder Kevin Cuddeback as CEO after he served 20 years in the role.[4] Anunu then transitioned the company into a worker-owned cooperative, which it remains since July 25, 2022.[5] A focus at Gimme is to form relationships with farmers who grow coffee. As part of this bond between consumer and producer, the farmer may receive a price premium, which in turn, can help them improve their operations.
