A roastery with a café out front
We opened on Alder Street in 2014 with one espresso machine and a 15 kg drum roaster that took up half the back room. It still does.
Every coffee we sell comes from a farm or co-op we buy from directly, most of them for five years or more. We taste each new lot before it goes on the shelf, and we pay above Fair Trade minimums so the people growing it can keep doing it well.
Through the window behind the bar you can watch the roaster on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Ask the barista and they'll pour you a sample of whatever just came out of the drum.
From our roaster to your door
- We roast your coffee
Orders placed by Monday or Thursday night go into the next morning's roast.
- It rests, then we pack it
Fresh coffee releases gas for about a day. We let it settle, then seal it in a bag with a one-way valve.
- We ship it within two days
Every order is tracked. Most arrive in three to five business days.
