Odeko, a New York-based technology partner to food and beverage businesses, has acquired Six Degrees Coffee Service & Distribution, a specialty coffee distributor based in Chico, California. This acquisition strengthens Odeko's presence in Northern California and expands its reach on the West Coast.
Strategic Acquisition for West Coast Expansion
Six Degrees, established over 20 years ago, has been a crucial partner for Northern California's specialty coffee community. The company collaborates with both local and national roasters, fostering strong relationships within the industry. This acquisition grants Odeko a key foothold in the region, complementing its existing operations in Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Los Angeles, California.

Six Degrees' diverse customer base, including independent cafés, drive-throughs, bakeries, grocery stores, college campuses, bars, restaurants, and churches, will now have access to Odeko's online ordering platform, national product catalogue, 24/7 customer support, and financing and insurance offerings. This integration aims to provide enhanced resources and support for continued growth.
Odeko Supply Mobile App Launch
In addition to the acquisition, Odeko has introduced Odeko Supply, a mobile app designed to streamline ordering for cafés, restaurants, and small businesses. The app features saved items for fast re-ordering, a searchable product catalogue, and tools to track orders, receive delivery updates and report issues. Odeko Supply is currently available on Apple's App Store.
Past Acquisition: Humankind Beverage
Prior to this acquisition, in May 2025, Odeko acquired Humankind Beverage, a Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based cafe distributor and bottled beverage brand. Odeko plans to distribute Humankind’s bottled water, juices, and teas across its national network, further expanding its product offerings.
