Our Story

A Little Sunshine. A Lot of Heart.

Sunny Day Cafe Co. started with a simple idea: bring great coffee to local youth sporting events. Armed with a mobile coffee cart and a belief that every gathering deserves good coffee, we set out to fill a gap — bringing quality coffee to unexpected places.

Then something unexpected happened. We set up our cart in our neighborhood, spread the word for a few days beforehand, and offered free drinks in exchange for donations for Valley Outreach, our local community food shelf. In just a few hours, we collected hundreds of pounds of food and hundreds of dollars for families in need.

That day taught us something: coffee doesn't just bring people together — it can genuinely change what a community is capable of. That idea became the foundation for everything we do now.

Coffee That Funds Your Cause

Today, we partner with youth sports teams, schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to create fundraising opportunities built around something people actually want: fresh-roasted, locally crafted coffee.Your group sells the bags to your own network— and you keep up to $10 for every bag sold.

It's a simple way to raise real money doing something people already want to say yes to: good coffee, with your organization's name — and even its own custom blend — on the bag.

Coffee That Does Good

In addition to fundraising, for every bag of Sunny Day coffee we sell online, 10% of proceeds go directly to local nonprofits — no extra step required. Your morning coffee is quietly doing some good, whether you're fundraising with us or just restocking your kitchen.

Family-Run. Community-Fueled.

Inspired by the spirit of the California coast, Sunny Day was created to capture the feeling of slowing down, soaking up the moment, and finding joy in simple things. We bring a little piece of sunshine to your mornings, even on the coldest Minnesota day.

We're a family-run business fueled by connection and community. Every batch is roasted with care, every partnership is built on relationships, and every purchase — retail or fundraiser — is an opportunity to make a difference.

So whether you're raising money for a cause close to your heart, supporting a local nonprofit, catching us at an event, or just enjoying your morning routine — you're part of something bigger.
