Fast Times Coffee
Coffee · 3+ locations · New York City, Nashville, Los Angeles
Fast Times looks like a hidden indie café tucked behind Buck Mason's storefronts in SoHo, Nashville, and Venice. It's actually Buck Mason's own concept, run by the same founders who took a small VC seed round for the clothing brand in 2014.
The Big Picture
Fast Times is Buck Mason's own café concept, not a separate company — founders Sasha Koehn and Erik Allen Ford still run both. Coffee-specific transparency is thin: no named roaster or sourcing certification for its house blend, and Buck Mason's own Glassdoor rating has fallen below 3.0 in the past year. As a three-location concept still new enough to have generated little independent track record, it answers to the same VC-backed ownership as the clothing brand around it.
