About Us

About Us   Welcome! We’re Katrina and Clint Carpenter—a native Central Kentucky couple with a shared love for coffee, adventure, and family. Proud parents to three sets of twins and grandparents to one delightful grandson, we found ourselves entering a new chapter as our children grew. This transition sparked a journey to discover what we truly wanted out of life.

Traveling the world and exploring new coffee flavors has always been a passion of ours, but our hearts have forever been anchored in the beauty of the Red River Gorge. Fueled by that love and a dream to give back to this vibrant community, we started with a mobile coffee trailer that allowed us to share our passion with locals and visitors alike. This humble beginning was just the spark we needed.

Our journey wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible role models who shaped us. Both of our sets of parents worked tirelessly to run their own businesses, instilling in us the values of hard work, determination, and the belief that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Their dedication, resilience, and unwavering support taught us the importance of chasing dreams and building something meaningful. We are forever grateful for the lessons they imparted and the foundation they provided.

Determined to grow, we decided to make the Gorge our permanent home—to embrace the life we envisioned and serve this incredible community. This dream became The Gypsy Grind Coffee Company, where we pour our hearts into crafting unforgettable coffee experiences. As the newest coffee café in the Red River Gorge, we’re honored to share the journey that has shaped us and create a welcoming space for all.

Join us for exceptional coffee, heartfelt treats, and a connection that’s as warm as the surroundings. Welcome to The Gypsy Grind Coffee Company—where family, coffee, and the Gorge meet.

 Celebrating our very first event in 2022 with excitement and pride, as we launched our coffee journey in our brand-new trailer—a dream come to life!
