Our Proud Partnership with Bering’s Hardware: The Story Behind Houston’s Favorite In-Store Coffee
Our Proud Partnership with Bering’s Hardware: The Story Behind Houston’s Favorite In-Store Coffee
At Bright and Early Coffee, we’ve always believed great coffee belongs where people live, gather, and shop. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to be the exclusive coffee roaster for **Bering’s Hardware** in Houston — one of Texas’ most iconic and beloved family-owned stores.
A Partnership Decades in the Making
Many years ago, **Mills Duncan IV** (our leader and part of the fifth-generation Duncan coffee family) created a special program to bring fresh, high-quality coffee directly into Bering’s stores. He developed the entire concept specifically for **Augie Bering**, helping turn Bering’s into a destination not just for hardware, housewares, and gifts — but for truly fresh roasted coffee as well.
What started as a thoughtful collaboration has grown into one of our longest and most successful retail partnerships. Today, every bag of whole bean coffee, every ground package, and every box of **K-Cups** you find at Bering’s comes straight from our roastery in Texas.
What Makes Our Bering’s Coffee Special
- **Fresh Roasted Daily** — We roast six days a week and roast-to-order, so the coffee on Bering’s shelves is always at peak freshness.
- **Huge Variety** — From our signature flavored coffees (Vanilla Bean Dream, Hazelnut Heaven, Caramel Drizzle, and more) in both **regular and decaf**, to bold single origins and espresso blends.
- **Convenience** — Shoppers can grab premium coffee while picking up everything from kitchen tools to gardening supplies.
- **K-Cups Made by Us** — All single-serve pods at Bering’s are produced by Bright and Early, delivering the same great taste in every cup.
Bering’s customers often tell us it’s one of their favorite parts of the store — walking out with a bag of fresh Houston-roasted coffee alongside their other finds.
Why This Partnership Matters
Bering’s has been a Houston institution since 1940, a true family business that values quality, service, and community. We’re honored that they chose a fellow Texas family-owned company to supply their coffee program. It’s a perfect match: two local legacies working together to give Houstonians something special.
Whether you’re a longtime Bering’s shopper or just discovering us, you can now enjoy Bright and Early Coffee without ever leaving the store.

**A Big Thank You**
To Augie Bering, the entire Bering’s family, and every customer who has supported this partnership over the years — thank you. Mills Duncan IV’s vision all those years ago helped us share our coffee with thousands of Houston homes, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Here’s to many more years of great coffee and great partnerships.
