Roots Coffeehouse is excited to welcome our newest Guest Roaster: Proud Mary Coffee Roasters.
Founded in Melbourne, Australia, and now roasting in Portland and Austin, Proud Mary has earned a global reputation for sourcing exceptional coffees, fostering meaningful producer relationships, and creating unforgettable coffee experiences.
For a limited time, guests at both our Fort Worth and North Richland Hills locations can experience coffees that reflect the same care, craft, and authenticity that define the Roots Coffeehouse community.
Coffee As It Should Be
At Roots Coffeehouse, we believe coffee brings out the best in people.
That's why we're always searching for coffees that align with our commitment to quality, hospitality, and connection. We look for partners who care deeply about the journey from farm to cup, and Proud Mary has built its reputation around exactly that philosophy.
Since 2009, Proud Mary has focused on sourcing incredible coffees, building genuine relationships with producers, and creating a coffee experience that celebrates both craftsmanship and community.
The company was founded by husband-and-wife team Nolan and Shari Hirte in Melbourne, Australia. Their passion for coffee, innovation, education, and relationships helped establish Proud Mary as one of the most respected names in specialty coffee worldwide.
Today, Proud Mary continues to roast exceptional coffees while maintaining meaningful relationships throughout the coffee supply chain.
Why Proud Mary?
What drew us to Proud Mary wasn't just the coffee itself—it was the people and the philosophy behind it.
Proud Mary believes that meaningful relationships matter. From coffee producers and farmers to café guests and local communities, every part of their process is built around connection.
Their commitment to quality extends beyond the cup through direct sourcing, long-term producer partnerships, and a belief that investing in people creates better outcomes for everyone involved.
Their sourcing philosophy focuses on:
• Direct sourcing relationships
• Long-term producer partnerships
• Fair and transparent pricing models
• Producer education and experimentation
• Social responsibility and sustainable growth
These values resonate deeply with the way we approach hospitality at Roots Coffeehouse.
Crafted for Community
Roots Coffeehouse has always been more than a place to grab a cup of coffee.
We believe a coffeehouse should be a gathering place grounded in community—a place where conversations happen, friendships grow, and people can slow down from the pace of everyday life.
Every guest roaster we feature is selected with our community in mind. Proud Mary represents the kind of quality, authenticity, and intentionality we're proud to serve.
Whether you're joining us for your morning coffee, an afternoon meeting, or a weekend catch-up with friends, we invite you to experience what makes Proud Mary special.
