JL Vintage: Friends in the Community

Not every partnership is about selling coffee


JL Vintage isn't a retail partner—they don't sell Spiritus Coffee in their shop. But they're part of our community network, and that matters.

Some relationships are commercial. Others are simply supportive. JL Vintage falls into the second category: friends, neighbors, fellow Lombard business owners who cheer each other on.


The Vintage Connection

JL Vintage deals in vintage and antique goods—items with history, character, and story. There's a parallel to what we do.

Mass-produced, disposable goods are everywhere. Vintage shops and small-batch roasters both push against that tide. We both believe that quality, care, and provenance matter. That things should be made (or preserved) with intention.

Different products, similar values.


Community Over Commerce

Not every connection needs a transaction. Sometimes community means:

  • Recommending each other to customers
  • Showing up at local events
  • Cheering wins and supporting through challenges
  • Being part of the same fabric

JL Vintage is part of our Lombard fabric. We're grateful for the connection, even without a wholesale account.
