Your Local Coffee Lady: Building Lovey Coffee Co. with Mary Orellana

In this episode of Beyond the Vines, I’m joined by Mary Orellana, the owner and founder of Lovey Coffee Co. — a woman-owned, small-batch coffee roaster rooted right here in Sonoma County.

Mary shares her journey from a lifelong love of coffee to building a business centered on community, ethical sourcing, and connection. We talk about what it really looks like to start a coffee company from the ground up, the meaning behind the Lovey Coffee name, and what it’s like being “your local coffee lady” at pop-ups, events, and weddings throughout the area.

She also opens up about the hands-on nature of small-batch roasting, the learning curves of entrepreneurship, and what success looks like to her today. Whether you’re a coffee lover, a small business supporter, or someone dreaming of starting something of your own, this conversation is full of heart, honesty, and inspiration.

Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this one.
