May 6, 2025

Here at Impact Coffee Company, our mission is simple: to impact our community...

This mission, however, is driven by a deeper desire to see communities all around the world thrive and experience the joy of a community impacted by the gospel through strategic and intentional partnerships with the coffee farms we source from.  



We believe that if you want to impact the world, you must first impact your local community. Our faith drives our desire to create a transparent, intentional, relationship-driven coffee company, providing you with a world-class cup of coffee accessible for your every day while being a force for good. 



Community is the foundation upon which this mission is built upon, and we believe that it should never be compromised. After all, if local communities are compromised on a journey to achieve something, no matter how noble it may seem, that mission is void.

Although Impact Coffee Company physically started in the building of North Main Café, it truly began in the heart of the café’s owner, Wendall Yoder, in early 2023 when he recognized the significant impact that the small-town café and coffee shop in the heart of Mount Vernon, Ohio had on the city, and wanted to see this impact spread locally and around the world.


Specifically, he recognized the way that a cup of coffee could bring people—both strangers and neighbors alike—together. North Main Café is a thriving home for Mount Vernon’s tight-knit community, blessed to be a place where hearts and tables are full, neighbors and passers-through meet for friendship, business, a bite for the road, a leisurely meal with old friends, a daily coffee and breakfast to fuel the workday, and so much more.

At Impact Coffee Company, we keep falling more in love with the relationships made around a cup of coffee every day, and believe in the impact of the community it helps forge daily. We have a no-shortcuts approach—because just like an incredible cup of coffee, we believe community is forged locally, with intentionally, steadily over time, and best enjoyed with the people you love.


We consider it both a wonderful blessing and a great responsibility to deliver you with a consistently excellent cup of coffee every time you choose Impact Coffee Company to fuel your day. We know that what you do each day and how you do it matters—and because you wouldn’t settle for less than the best, neither will we. 


Join the impact—try our coffee served locally in central Ohio at either North Main Café or 4th Street Coffee House, or order yours online to have your perfect roast delivered straight to your door. 


And while you’re at it, enjoy it with your people too.

Coffee Worth Coming Back To: A Specialty Roaster Growing Roots in Ohio

By Wendall Yoder • November 20, 2025
Our Story in Central Ohio We launched in October 2023 with a simple belief: our Mount Vernon community deserves the best cup of coffee—served with real warmth and authenticity. What started as a passion for quality roasting has grown into something bigger than we imagined. Today, we're proud to serve the greater Columbus area from two thriving café locations: one in Mount Vernon, North Main Café (also the home of our roasting space) and another in Mansfield, 4th Street Coffee House . And if you can't visit us in person, our online store brings our specialty beans directly to your door. What Sets Us Apart in the Columbus Coffee Scene There are undeniably many incredible coffee companies out there. We're not here to claim we're the only choice. What makes us different is the why behind what we do. Our faith isn't just something we mention—it drives our entire mission. We believe that great coffee can do more than just brighten your morning. When we partner with coffee farms, we're thinking about impact. When we serve you here in Ohio, we're thinking about community. Because we've seen firsthand that when you impact your community, you impact the world. We believe that there is no greater impact than the spread of the gospel—and want our profits and work to help fuel that spread to our friends and neighbors here in Ohio, and to the ends of the earth. Local Coffee, Global Impact Every bag of beans we roast tells a story that starts at origin and ends in your cup. But more importantly, it represents our commitment to the coffee farmers who grow these beans and to spreading something meaningful—both through our partnerships in coffee-growing regions, importers with the same values, and right here at home in Mount Vernon, Mansfield, and the surrounding Columbus areas. This is what specialty coffee means to us: it's not just about the perfect extraction or the ideal roast level (though we absolutely care about those things). It's about knowing that your morning ritual matters. That supporting a local, faith-driven roaster in Central Ohio connects you to something bigger. Visit Us or Order Online Whether you stop by one of our café locations in Mount Vernon or Mansfield, or you order our specialty beans online, we're here to serve you with the same quality and care. We're building this community one cup at a time. That's coffee worth coming back to.
