Founded on family, inspired by tradition, and proudly rooted in Heath, Poppy Bear Coffee offers more than 50 varieties of premium coffee, along with a selection of specialty teas.
HEATH, TX (Nov. 14, 2026) – Some of life’s most meaningful moments begin with something as simple as a cup of coffee. A quiet morning, a familiar conversation, or a little extra time with the people we love. Those everyday moments are the inspiration behind Poppy Bear Coffee, Heath’s first premium coffee brand.
Founded by Heath resident Scott Dodson of the Buffalo Creek community, Poppy Bear Coffee is more than a passion for exceptional coffee. It is a brand built around family, connection, and the belief that some of life’s greatest memories are made in the simplest moments.
Affectionately known as “Poppy” to his grandchildren, Dodson found inspiration in the mornings spent sharing coffee and making memories with his family. Those cherished traditions became the foundation for a company that reflects both his love of coffee and the people who mean the most to him.
“Poppy Bear Coffee started with two things I love deeply: great coffee and my grandchildren,” said Dodson. “Some of my favorite memories are the simplest ones, just being together, sharing stories, and enjoying the morning. I wanted to create something that celebrates those moments and encourages others to make a few more of their own.”
For Dodson, establishing the company in Heath was equally meaningful.
“Heath is a special place, and I’m incredibly proud to call it home,” Dodson said. “This community represents quality, family, and a wonderful way of life. Those are the same values I wanted Poppy Bear Coffee to reflect. Being able to build this brand right here in Heath makes it even more meaningful to me.”
The company’s guiding message, “Great coffee. Cherished moments. A little love in every cup,” captures the heart of the brand. It is a reminder that great coffee isn’t simply about what fills your cup, but about the memories and connections made while enjoying it.
Poppy Bear Coffee offers more than 50 varieties of freshly roasted premium coffee, including carefully crafted blends, single-origin selections, and convenient K-Cups. Sourced from trusted coffee-growing regions around the world, each variety is thoughtfully selected and roasted to bring out its distinctive flavor, rich aroma, and exceptional quality.
For those who prefer something beyond coffee, Poppy Bear also offers a selection of specialty teas, including loose-leaf varieties.
While the company takes pride in the quality of its products, its mission goes beyond delivering an exceptional cup of coffee. Poppy Bear Coffee hopes to inspire people to slow down, connect with one another, and appreciate the moments that often become their most treasured memories.
Because sometimes, the best part of your morning isn’t the coffee. It’s who you share it with.
Poppy Bear Coffee is available online at poppybearcoffee.com and at select events throughout North Texas.
