Tops Markets is proud to announce that RocketCup Coffee, a fast-growing specialty coffee company rooted in Western New York, is now available in more than 40 Tops locations across the region.
This partnership highlights Tops’ ongoing commitment to support local businesses while delivering high-quality, innovative products to their customers.
Founded in 2022, RocketCup Coffee is more than just a coffee brand—it’s a mission-driven company focused on revitalizing communities through exceptional coffee and meaningful partnerships. The company sources top 5% specialty-grade beans, roasts in small batches at its headquarters in Cattaraugus, NY, and delivers fresh, premium coffee to customers and retail partners alike.
“Bringing RocketCup Coffee into our stores aligns perfectly with our focus on local partnerships and quality offerings,” said Gwen Pratt, category business manager for Tops Markets. “RocketCup represents the kind of innovation and community connection that resonates with our customers.”
RocketCup has quickly distinguished itself by blending craftsmanship with innovation. In addition to its core coffee lineup, the company creates custom-branded coffee for businesses, universities, and organizations nationwide—turning coffee into a unique storytelling and branding experience.
Its rapidly expanding “College Coffee” line has also gained attention, allowing customers to “drink their school pride” through officially licensed partnerships that support universities.
This creative approach has driven strong demand both online and in retail. Despite its rapid growth, RocketCup remains deeply committed to its Western New York roots.
By roasting locally and scaling thoughtfully, the company brings a premium, small-batch product into everyday retail environments—something rarely seen at this level.
“We built RocketCup to be different,” said Tom Cullen, Co-Founder of RocketCup Coffee. “From the quality of our beans to the partnerships we create everything we do is about delivering a better experience. Being on shelves at Tops allows us to bring that experience to more people in our home region, and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of.”
With RocketCup Coffee now available in Tops Markets stores, customers can expect fresh-roasted coffee, innovative product lines, and a brand that is redefining how coffee connects people, communities, and culture.
