Our Story

Meet the Owner, Constantina Kougias. 

For the majority of my life, I was like most people in their early 20’s: go to school, get a degree. I went throughout college unsure of what my future held. I always knew I wanted to start my own business, but had no idea what that business would be, or how to start that process.

 Fast forward to the year 2020. This was a tough, confusing time of my life. I lost my purpose, and had no idea what was next. Being 25 at the time, I expected to have more of my life figured out. 

In February of 2021, I had a conversation with my boyfriend, Jay, that changed my life forever. We were talking about our careers and where we wanted to be in 5 years. After a lot of conversation, the topic of starting a business came up. At first, I mentioned how thought about starting a clothing business. As I thought about it more, I did not seem as interested in keeping up with fashion trends, sourcing product etc. 

Then, Jay said, "How about a coffee business? Everyone loves it, especially you, and you always mention how you want more flavored coffee options. You should have Cookie be the logo/branding! She is adorable, you love rabbits, and it would be the two things you love most". Hearing this, I immediately felt inspired. I was so excited. That night, I started researching how to find a supplier, what questions to ask, etc. 

 I have been an avid coffee drinker all my life. Having Cookie be a part of something I love was so exciting and lit a fire in me. But, I wanted to take it one step further. I wanted to tie my love for coffee while bringing awareness to rabbits. Rabbits are the most surrendered exotic pet in shelters. Not only would our coffee be fresh and delicious, but give Cookie and other rabbits a voice.

Binky Bun Coffee was born with a launch date of 9/12/21, the day after my birthday. With your purchase, you won’t be only be supporting a small business with a love for coffee and bunnies. You will give our rabbit friends a voice.

Each month, we partner with various rabbit rescues all around the USA. 15% of your purchase goes to that rescue we are partnering with for the month.  Each rescue has their own affiliate link where the commissions are recorded. You can find the shelter we partner with at the announcement banner on our website, or on our social media platforms!

Rabbits are misunderstood. Many do not understand the care and commitment a rabbit requires, and are often are labeled as "starter pets". Our vision at Binky Bun Coffee is to merge the love of coffee while bringing awareness for our furry friend’s well-being.

I hope you love our coffee and other products. So much work and love has gone into this brand, and I hope you love it just as much as I do.
