Meet Rachel Lyons | Owner of Lyons Brew Coffee

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rachel Lyons and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rachel, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk taking is an absolute necessity when it comes to being an entrepreneur. In the world of a business owner you have to be willing to step out on your fears. Take the risk is absolutely terrifying, but I believe betting on yourself is the most rewarding feeling in the world.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
New Orleans-born coffee maker, Rachel Lyons is gaining notoriety with her very own coffee brand in Dallas, TX; Lyons Brew Coffee. After starting her business in 2020, Lyons Brew is already offering seven flavors available on the market!
In addition to seven flavors, Lyons Brew’s best selling flavor, Crazy Joe is also available in pod form, ready for your favorite instant coffee makers.

About the Founder
Rachel Lyons grew up in a household among coffee indulgers. Having been introduced to mild strength brews as a child, she quickly learned what her likes/dislikes were. Her unquenchable search for some of America’s best coffee, led her to an eight-year career as an adult, working for the Starbucks Corporation in various positions.

While working for one of the biggest food chains in the world, Rachel was enrolled in nursing college, where she was soon at a crossroad. Dealing with the challenges of self-actualization in the medical field, she finally decided to follow her heart. At the age of 34, Rachel began a journey of selling the most authentic freshly brewed coffee, which came to be known as Lyons Brew!

You Can Never Have Too Many Choices for Coffee
The launch of this new coffee company adds to the healthy ecosystem of independent coffee shops and products with over 90 brands. The retailer serves competition grade roast sourced from France, Columbia, Indonesia and Ethiopia.
The environment-friendly brand also promotes going green with recyclable Lyons Brew cups and encouraging its consumers to use leftover coffee grounds for compost.

The early success has already garnered partnerships with Zoe Communications Agency, Afro Soca Love Dallas, Judy Pie Bakery and Kendra Scott of Lakeside Mall.

The growth and development of a brand new company proves to be an uphill climb for Lyons, who sits at the helm of the company, while maintaining her career in the medical field. But it’s passion for coffee that allows her to persevere through the challenges of entrepreneurship.

We are Lyons Brew Coffee. A black owned coffee company from Dallas, TX. Every pour from any of our brews, has the ‘resilience of a lyon in every cup.’ I believe that a hot cup of coffee is equivalent to everything good, warm and heartfelt in our lives. My mom and grandmother made coffee for me when I was young, as I was absolutely crazy for it!

Curtis Lyons, my father has been my support system from the very beginning. I know believing in yourself is a must, but having someone that pushes you on those hard days, speaks life into you, and supports your passion is what my dad embodies. He is my best friend and business partner and I would not trade him for the world.
