HISTORY
 
Birmingham residents in the late 1800's were drawn to the streets by the aroma of fresh coffee beans as our founder, Henry T. Batterton, made his rounds selling coffee from his horse drawn wagon. Batterton Coffee was so fresh, so flavorful, that it became known as the "Royal Cup of Coffee." In the 1950's our name was officially changed to Royal Cup, Inc.

Yes, since our founding in 1896, our operation has changed, but our reputation for providing exceptional coffees, teas and personal service remains.
