About Us

Community is our purpose.

The heart of The Good Cup is for people. Started by Anne Sale in 2003, our community-driven shop is a staple in the Grassland/Franklin area. Current owners Mike and Amanda Taylor have fought to keep the eclectic scene alive. We feature freshly baked pastries, local artwork, and branded goods for you to feel right at home.

Coffee is our passion.

We partner with local roasters and herb shops - like Bongo and Savory Spice- to serve you quality coffee and syrups. All of our coffee is 100% organic with no added pesticides as well as fair-trade, so our growers receive a minimum wage for their work. From double espressos and lattes to iced drinks and frozen coffees, our team is trained to serve items that reflect the neighborhood.

Families are always welcome in our cozy coffee shop.

Care is our promise.

Your purchase provides care for those in need. The Good Cup financially supports several missionary families in the Middle East and Africa.  A large portion of our profit is donated to local schools, charities, and non-profits right here in Franklin, Tennessee. Thank you for helping us make a difference across the world!
