hi, we are the Vital family

We are a little family of 3, Washington locals who met in New Zealand, and share a love for quality coffee.

We started this coffee cart up in 2021 on San Juan Island & recently moved to the North Seattle region for our second year of business.

The idea however was born years ago in the mind & heart of our owner and admin, Abbie Vital. Abbie has been a barista for 6 years and has been dreaming of these days; the making coffee and making a difference days. Abbie presented the business plan and idea to her husband, Stephen, and he was all for it. Together they made it happen. Stephen built the cart from scratch and Abbie designed & painted it. Now a days all the behind the scenes work is chiefly executed by Abbie, and every event is a family operation. (so that means you'll be greeted by Stephen's smiling face too!)

Thanks for supporting our dream and drinking good coffee!

& this is The Stand

The name “The Stand” is well… exactly that! A coffee stand yes… but a stand for something. That’s kinda our whole thing as humans, we all stand for something

With our business we are intentional about making stands. Every farmers market, fair,

or community event we give 10% of our sales from said event “standing for” a cause.

A few organizations we have supported & stood for are; the SJI Family Resource Center, Every Mother Counts, A Jesus Mission,

Destiny Rescue, the SJI Community Foundation, Animal Protection Society,

Plant with Purpose, Soroptimist of FH,

Not for Sale, and local families in need.

For every private event we do, we let the host choose a non profit that is close to their heart for us to donate 10% of the event proceeds to.

Take a stand with us &

drink good coffee while doing it!
