Due to the cororonavirus, Red Emma's worker owners have decided that the safest course of action is to temporarily limit operations. We are accepting orders for curbside pickup of food and drinks on a limited schedule we plan to expand over time. You can place online orders for books for pickup or delivery.

If you would like to support us in these difficult times:

Ok, got it!

Thread Coffee

Thread Coffee is a collectively-owned and operated small-batch coffee roaster committed to a transparent model of trade that promotes dignity, sustainability, and solidarity. Through hand-crafted, quality coffee we sew together organizational models based on participatory democracy and self- management.

Thread Coffee works to create relationships directly with farmers, ensuring that producers receive a just price for their beans, and that their coffee is grown in a way that’s good for both the environment and the culture. Thread is a part of the Red Emma’s family of projects, and is roasting onsite at the new Red Emma’s Bookstore Coffeehouse at 30 W. North Avenue.
