Hilton Head Welcomes Origin Coffee Expansion
Hilton Head, SC – Origin Coffee, a specialty café and roastery founded in Savannah, Georgia, is set to open its new location in Hilton Head on August 1, 2025. The café will be located at 35 North Main Street, Suite 100, within the J. Banks complex, replacing the former TJ’s Take & Bake Pizza.
The new location is strategically positioned near schools, a hospital, and an airport, helping it to integrate into the everyday life of Hilton Head residents. As a community-driven establishment, Origin Coffee aims to serve as a local neighborhood café, providing a welcoming space for residents and visitors alike.
Origin Coffee: A Brief Overview
Origin Coffee was co-founded by Elise and Matt Higgins in 2020 after the couple experienced challenges finding the perfect coffee for their wedding. Having moved to the Savannah area almost 15 years ago, their passion for coffee led to the creation of what initially began as a mobile espresso bar. The business later evolved into a pop-up shop and, in 2023, expanded into a full-service café and roastery in downtown Savannah.
What to Expect at the Hilton Head Location
The new café will mirror the successful menu of the Savannah location, offering coffee, tea, matcha, pastries, and a variety of café bites. Additionally, a full brunch menu is set to be introduced in the coming months, with some exclusive items still being developed. The design of the Hilton Head café was crafted by Sarah Kowalski from J. Banks Design, ensuring a modern and inviting atmosphere.
Employees at the Hilton Head café will be locals, reflecting Origin Coffee’s commitment to the community. The team is dedicated to providing high-quality service and is prioritizing staff training to tailor offerings to local preferences. This community focus is echoed in the decision to expand to Hilton Head, which was influenced by the strong connections the J. Banks staff had with the Savannah location.
In-House Coffee Roasting
Origin Coffee stands out in the specialty café scene with its in-house roasting program, where all coffee beans are sourced directly from farmers. This commitment to quality and transparency contributes to their unique offerings and strengthens their community ties.
Engaging with the Community
As the opening date approaches, patrons can keep up with developments and updates by following Origin Coffee through social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, as well as their official website. This engagement will help foster a community connection that they intend to cultivate at the new Hilton Head location.
A New Chapter for Origin Coffee
With the upcoming opening in Hilton Head, Origin Coffee is not only expanding its footprint but also enhancing the local community’s access to specialty coffee. The Higgins’ vision of creating a neighborhood café that serves both residents and visitors is coming to fruition, as they continue to bring their passion for coffee to new locations.
