FfrugalCoffee

Want to build community with Ffrugal?

Got a space, an event, or an idea that brings people together? We bring the coffee and matcha, the crew, and the people who follow along. You bring the rest. All are welcome, and that goes for ideas too.

Ways to work with us

Here's what working with Ffrugal has looked like so far, and where we'd like to go next.

  • Host us at your place

    We set up our bar inside your shop, studio or gym, pour for your customers, and bring our people through your door.

    We've done this: Saturdays at Lovell's Records & Tapes, Sundays at Sundays Best Apparel, and early mornings at Endurance Sports Nutrition.

  • Throw something together

    Listening parties, open houses, flash days, block parties, Valentine's games. You bring the occasion; we pour all day and help spread the word.

    We've done this: A listening party and Record Store Day at Lovell's, an open house and a Friday the 13th flash day with GoldLeaf Art Studio, a block party at Uptown Provisions, and Skate Shop Day at 88 Skate Supply.

  • Make a drink for the moment

    A one-off drink built around your event, your brand or your crowd, available only with you.

    We've done this: The Munchies Matcha, poured exclusively at Lovell's on Record Store Day.

  • Give back together

    Donation drives, fundraisers, and causes close to home. Coffee is a good reason for people to show up for each other.

    We've done this: A Ffrugal Christmas, with donations given directly to families in need in our community.

  • Try something new

    When's the last time you tried something for the first time? Our Wednesday Range Nights get people out of their routine and into the same place. If you have a space or an experience that does the same, let's talk.

    We've done this: Range Nights at Pico Rivera Golf Club.

  • Coffee for your team or space

    [CONFIRM WE OFFER THIS BEFORE LAUNCH: regular coffee and matcha for offices, studios or shops. Delete this row if not.]

Have an idea that doesn't fit a box?

Tell us anyway. A collab, a cause, a creative project, a first-time thing. If it brings people together, we want to hear it.

Tell us your idea

How it works

  1. Tell us your idea

    Use the form below or DM @ffrugalcoffee. A few sentences is plenty.

  2. We talk it through

    Over coffee, naturally. Who it's for, what each side brings, and when it could happen.

  3. We plan it together

    Date, setup, the flyer, and how we'll both get the word out.

  4. We show up and pour

    You host, we run the bar, and our community comes through.

What Ffrugal brings

  • Our coffee and matcha bar, set up and run by our crew
