Who’s the founder behind Taboo?
Hayley Matthews.
“I started Taboo to use coffee to give back, raise awareness and start conversations. It has been truly fun and fulfilling hearing every customer’s ‘Why’.
Since the age of 15, Hayley has faced significant mental health challenges. Despite her efforts to seek help from professionals, she has experienced severe difficulties, including moments where she felt completely overwhelmed and even attempted to take her own life.
“Honestly, if it was not for my close nit group of friends and family dragging me along kicking and screaming - I would have prevailed”
I call these people My Tribe.
Despite these challenges, I decided to set up my own coffee company; Taboo coffee to give myself a sense of purpose and direction.”
At Taboo, we're not just selling coffee; we're offering change.
Great Coffee on Your Doorstep
"My ultimate goal is to aid in lifting some of the strain that society's ever-growing mental health epidemic has placed on our healthcare system by encouraging open conversations around personal struggles.
If we can save even one life, then we know that our mission will be a success.
Find your Tribe!"
Hayley, Founder
