Ryan Hammond founded Domestique in 2009 as an online only coffee roastery in Granbury, Texas, naming it after the cycling term for the support rider who sacrifices personal glory for the team. Hammond's ties to the cycling world run deep, including work as a soigneur for the Rock Racing professional team. The first brick and mortar cafe opened in August 2012 in a renovated historic building on Granbury's town square, filled with vintage cycling memorabilia. Hammond roasts on a Diedrich, sourcing single origin beans from Central and South America and Africa with a focus on direct trade relationships. The lineup includes blends like Working Class Hero and Dark Domestique alongside rotating single origins.
