Coffee Description
Single-Origin Blend of Ethiopia/Guatemala/Rwanda
"AttaGirl" is named in honor of our founder's grandmother, the dynamic Kitty O'Shea. Kitty grew up in the Mission District of San Francisco, a first-generation American during the Depression, where street talk colored every interaction and “atta girl” was a favorite Kittyism. She used it unsparingly through her long life to espouse love, praise, and a reminder to embrace life's opportunities. “Atta Girl” is now in the Webster Dictionary; lesson learned that if you stick around long enough, you become noteworthy—perhaps even legendary.

Our coffee expert
Aubrey Mills
6+ years experience as Coffee Taster, Wholesale Director, barista and Coffee Quality Director.
Aubrey Mills is steeped in coffee. Not literally, of course, but since 2013, she’s been preparing and tasting coffee for a career. Initially as a barista at the Portland, OR Insomnia Coffee and Dapper & Wise, her job was to stay on top of quality and help customers find coffees they were excited about. This involved tasting all the coffees they’d be serving that day, dialing in espresso or approve a drip recipe.
She soon became Director of Wholesale at Dapper & Wise, where she regularly cupped at quality control cuppings with the team, hosted cuppings for the public and trained wholesale partners on proper coffee preparation. In the role of helping to maintain Dapper & Wise’s menu of diverse flavor profiles, roast levels and processing methods, Aubrey also visited coffee producing countries. She says, “Traveling to origin and experiencing the beginning of the coffee journey has given me greater perspective for how many variables can impact flavor in the final cup.”
Along with her on-point palate and killer coffee know-how, Aubrey brings creativity, sparkle and grace to everything she does, actively looking for opportunities to showcase the value of specialty coffee and address sustainability issues in the industry.

"Dynamic and approachable, this coffee offers a bit of something for everyone. I taste apricot, marshmallow cream, and chocolate covered almond. The linger is quick and mouthfeel, creamy. "
Lady Falcon Coffee Club
Our name Lady Falcon Coffee Club is a respectful nod to an era in San Francisco’s Ocean Beach history. In the 1880s, an impromptu neighborhood of abandoned streetcars on Judah Street became “Carville-by-the-Sea.” Carville housed many a freethinker. The Falcon Ladies Bicycling Club was one of the first streetcars in the bunch and helped shape the legend of Carville.
Now, why would ladies need a bicycling club? These women were rebels in their own way, in their own day. Ladies straddling bicycles in the late 1800s... women couldn’t even legally vote then and were restricted by corsets and petticoats. With bicycling, a freedom of movement liberated them. They must have felt like they had wings.
With deep roots on Judah Street in San Francisco, we sought to imagine the lives of these forerunners who built the spirit of the neighborhood on a sand dune we love so well -- with recycled streetcars, grit, tenacity and a passion for fun.
They found like-minded bohemians and artists and created a club in the outskirts of the City, in a new neighborhood that embraced and appreciated their quirkiness as well as their flair for originality.
Our coffee harnesses that spirit of originality, as we handcraft our coffee the old fashioned way and with our own unique style—in our own way, in our own day.
We hope you will love it.
