Founded by Stephen Tulloch
Most people know Stephen Tulloch from his eleven seasons in the NFL—a linebacker who played with intensity, intelligence, and heart for the Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans, and Philadelphia Eagles. But what drove Stephen was never just football. It was community. Connection. Building something that outlasts a career.
When his playing days ended, Stephen didn't walk away from competition—he channeled it into something new. Something he believed in. Something that could bring people together the way sports always had.
That something was coffee.
Coffee by NFL Veteran
The idea was simple but powerful: create a space where people actually want to be. A place rooted in quality, built around community, and driven by purpose. Stephen saw coffee not as a commodity but as a catalyst—the thing that gets conversations started, relationships built, and mornings worth waking up for.
In 2018, that idea became Circle House Coffee.
Stephen brought to the brand the same discipline and commitment that defined his NFL career. The same attention to detail that made him a reliable presence on the field showed up in every decision he made about the brand—the coffee sourcing, the roast profiles, the customer experience, the community partnerships.
From Fort Lauderdale to Nationwide
Circle House Coffee started where most great things do—locally. Our first home was Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where we opened our café at 727 NE 3rd Ave and introduced South Florida to what Circle House was all about: premium coffee, genuine hospitality, and a space that felt like community from the moment you walked in.
Today, Circle House Coffee is carried in Meijer and Kroger locations across the country. What began as one café now lives on shelves, in offices, at events, and in morning routines from Fort Lauderdale to Detroit and everywhere in between.

We are committed to using our platform to create real opportunity—in the communities where we operate, for the people who believe in what we're building, and for the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders who need someone in their corner.

Supporting
When you buy a bag of Circle House Coffee or crack open a can of Nitro Cold Brew, you're participating in something larger than a purchase. You're joining a community that believes premium coffee and genuine purpose can coexist—and that the best businesses are the ones that give back as much as they take in.
Where We're Headed
Circle House Coffee is still in its early chapters. What we've built so far—the café, the retail presence, the wholesale programs, the community impact—is the foundation, not the finish line.
We're expanding our retail footprint into new markets, growing our wholesale partnerships with cafés, hotels, gyms, and corporate partners nationwide, and deepening our community investment with programs that create real, measurable change.
