Why cafes work with us
A roaster close enough to dial in with you.
When your coffee is roasted twenty minutes away, the person who roasted it can stand behind your bar. That is the part of wholesale we care about most.
Roasted to order
Your coffee is roasted on a standing schedule built around how fast you pour. Nothing is roasted before you order it, and nothing sits in a warehouse.
Calibrated with your equipment
We help you calibrate every roast on your espresso machine, grinder and batch brewers before you go live, and again when you change coffees.
Single origins that rotate
Rotating single origins give your menu something new to talk about, alongside a house coffee your regulars can count on.
Your own house blend
Want a coffee nobody else in town pours? We offer custom roasting and private label, developed with you against the way you brew.
Farm to cup
Coffee with a story your customers can visit.
We roast in a converted milking parlor on Shepard Settlement Farm in Marcellus. It is the kind of origin story that is easy to put on a chalkboard, and your customers can drive out and see it for themselves.
Roasting is one of the last steps after the agriculture, and we treat it as both method and craft, developing a profile for each origin to bring out what makes it worth drinking.
What cafes order
Bulk for the bar, bags for the counter.
Most cafes pour our coffee by the pound and add retail bags and cold brew once the bar is dialed in.

Common questions
Questions cafe owners ask us.

Yes. Espresso is one of our standard grinds, and we will help you calibrate our roasts on your machine and grinder so your shots are dialed in before you go live.
Do you have a decaf for cafes?
Yes. We roast a house decaf by the pound for wholesale, and a decaf single origin in retail bags.

Yes. Many cafes pour our coffee by the pound and sell our 8, 12, 16 and 32 oz bags at the counter at wholesale pricing.

We will help you calibrate our roasts with your brew methods, and we are happy to offer brewing suggestions and techniques for your staff and your equipment.

Everything is roasted to order on a standing schedule built around your volume. Nothing is roasted before you order it, and nothing sits in a warehouse in between.
