Hardy Coffee Co
Autumn (Hardy) Pruitt
My husband, Luke, and I moved back to our hometown of Omaha, NE, and started a small bakery in 2010. In those early years, we subleased a kitchen and tiny storefront from Aromas Coffeehouse on the corner of 11th and Jones. A year and a half later, we purchased the coffee shop and have since opened two additional brick-and-mortar locations. In 2015, we began roasting our own coffee under the brand Hardy Coffee Co. and later brought every piece (bakery, coffee shops, roasting lab) and location (downtown, Benson, North Omaha) of the business under that unified name.
