Our story

What began as a hobby has grown into a passion.

Founded in 2024, Nineteen Coffee is the creation of a corporate employee and former elementary school teacher, as well as a mother of three boys, who turned her love for coffee into a career.

Hello, I'm Erin Young, the founder of Nineteen Coffee.

My journey started as a home barista in my kitchen, where I discovered my passion for not just drinking coffee but also crafting delightful cups for others. Nineteen Coffee LLC was born with a straightforward mission: to bring a versatile coffee bar offering fun and delicious drinks to Buffalo, NY.

Coffee has been my constant companion through long days and nights of earning my college degrees, during the hours spent lesson planning when I was a teacher, after the sleepless nights with the kids, catching up with friends, and since every morning to refresh before beginning my day of work.

I am thrilled to share my passion with you through Nineteen Coffee and look forward to bringing joy and great coffee to our community. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

A special thanks to my husband for believing in me and helping me to make this happen!
