How have your Queens roots influenced the For Five brand?
For Five Coffee Roasters: Like its founders, Stefanos Vouvoudakis and Tom Tsiplakos, For Five was born in Queens, and Queens continues to shape who we are today. The borough’s diversity, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit are woven into our brand’s DNA, influencing how we work, how we grow, and how we show up in every community we serve.
Over the past decade, For Five has expanded its footprint from New York to Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Chicago, and Atlanta. Even as we’ve grown, our commitment to freshly roasted, meticulously sourced coffee has remained unwavering. Queens taught us to value authenticity, hard work, and connection, principles that guide every part of our operation.
From sourcing and cupping to roasting, importing, distributing, and providing equipment and technical services, we’ve evolved into a comprehensive coffee destination without losing sight of where we started. As we prepare to open in Terminal 6, we carry Queens with us—its inclusivity, its boundless energy, and its belief that great things can rise from humble beginnings. For Five is more than a brand born in Queens; it is a brand shaped by Queens, grounded in the values that made us who we are.
