About Aura

Re-established in 2014, Aura Coffee offers specialty beverages, delicious teas, real fruit smoothies, handmade treats, and love and support for all.

Located across the street from the University of North Texas, we are proud to serve students, professors, staff and the community of Denton. We try our best to remain affordable, accessible, inclusive and inviting, and to celebrate the diverse and beautiful community of which we are honored to be a part.

OUR STORY

Aura Coffee began in 2014, picking up where Big Mike's left off. Mike sold the business to now-owner Kim McKibben, as he knew she would continue the coffee tradition rather than convert the building into a bar. We are proud to be woman-owned, locally-owned, and queer-run.

Counter Culture

We are proud to serve coffee from Counter Culture, roasters who value the quality and sustainability of their product. Counter Culture provides our baristas with expert training, offering classes at their Dallas campus. We believe in Counter Culture because their business model pays farmers more than the fair trade minimum for their product. These partnerships ensure ethical practices for the farmers and laborers.

Ginger Boy's Treats and More

Ginger Boys got their start in 2020 primarily making their own jams, jellies, and treats sold at the Denton Community Market and other pop-up events. Now, they also stock our pastry case with homemade treats year-round, and serve hot made to order pop up lunches and brunches from the kitchen from time to time. Handmade by beloved Dentonites.
