This fresh roasted coffee is superb. My wife and I like to have one large coffee in the morning so purchase a single pound of whole beans and make our medium/light roast by the cup. For us, one experience defines San Marco Roasting: when I first visited the shop, I asked the owner, Vahan, to recommend a mix. That was an espresso that turned out to be too intense and heavy for us at six a.m. A day later, I brought back the bag. Vahan understood completely, took back the coffee and began to mix beans like a chemist. Afterwards, he and I examined the mainly Peruvian beans together with Vahan explaining their qualities and what we could expect in terms of taste. The roasts were days old versus weeks or months like you might get from Starbucks, a supermarket or from Amazon, so the result was a particularly smooth and delicious cup of coffee. I had once visited a high end whiskey distillery in Scotland where they take you out to the peat bogs that serve as fuel for roasting the barley. Clearly, you could smell and taste that peat smoke in the finished single malt. I experienced a similar sensation smelling the beans that Vahan presented to me: beyond the typical coffee roast aroma was the actual smell of the land where they came from 4,000 miles away. It was impressive. Several days later, I phoned Vahan to tell him that the mix was perfect. He said, “I was worried, so thank you for calling. This makes me happy.” The shop is pleasant, casual and unassuming. Visit once and you will be considered a regular. Bottom-line: you deserve to treat yourself to one of the great, simple pleasures in life that is the artisan-crafted experience that San Marco provides for a modest price.

MY Coffee Roastery Menu with Prices 2080 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Berkeley

Tucked along the busy MLK thoroughfare, two coffee aficionados share their labor of love. I walked in to Christine (the barista) serving a latte topped with a two-colored heart-within-a-heart, delivered with a wholesome, “thank you for your support!” As humble newcomers to the specialty coffee scene in Berkeley, their commitment to mastering their craft is authentic and what will certainly sets their shop apart. What made me excited to visit them was how they’ve staked their reputation on roasting their own beans. Most small cafes will launch by brewing and serving the beans of reputable roasters, but Peter and Christine are drawing from their years of experience to roast and serve delicate cups of coffee in a cafe of their own design. “It’s like walking through a time machine,” said Peter in describing his thoughts behind building the countertops. “[As you walk in] it’s modern, but stepping into the back it becomes more historic.” I ordered a washed Ethiopia pour over coffee, and watched our artist at work. Christine’s pour over technique was wonderful – delivering a floral coffee with a sweet lingering aftertaste. She explained her coffee with the excitement of a musician telling the story behind a new piece: quick to point out how the coffee she made, with beans aged 20 days past roasting, had a gentler taste than when it was first roasted. MY Coffee Roastery is elevating the specialty coffee scene here in the East Bay, and they’re doing so in the most authentic way possible: by studying every roast, educating the community around their coffee, and making people happy with every cup they serve.

The Roastery – Menu with Prices – 616 W 54th St, Minneapolis

This is a great coffee place. As other reviewers noted, this is not a cafe, and not a place to spend the day sipping away on a variety of coffee beverages. What it is, is a place with great beans. What i love about this place is the care and selection, plus the fresh onsite roasting. My only downsides are, no espresso roast, and everything is sold by the pound. Also to smell the coffee they have to open the bags. Even with the limited hours, the delivery option makes up for that. I still miss my favorite coffee shops in New Mexico, but the Roastery fits the bill in the interim. Oh the Bali blend is A-MAZ-ING!.

Elixr Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 315 N 12th St, Philadelphia

Having recently moved to Philly, I knew that I would have to find a new roaster to buy coffee from. Hopefully I would be able to find a place that not only sourced good beans, but had also perfected the art of roasting in order to allow their nuanced flavors to shine. On top of that, I was really hoping I would be able to find a place that was near to where I live. Elixr came through on all fronts. The Elixr location on 12th St is within walking distance of my new place. I stopped in expecting to purchase some beans and head back home. First I had to locate the coffee itself. At first glance, I didn’t see the usual bags of coffee I am accustomed to. It turns out that they use boxes for packaging creating a clean, sharp visual element that fits in well with the design aesthetic of the shop. I chose a Tanzanian variety named Tarime with interesting sounding tasting notes. The barista informed me that each purchase of beans comes with a complimentary coffee and I chose a cortado to enjoy. The coffee had been roasted just one day before I purchased it and I opened it one day after that. I could taste the freshness of the coffee. The roast on this coffee was perfect and the delicate flavors displayed themselves beautifully. I will absolutely be returning in the future to purchase more coffee from Elixr.

Laughing Cat – Menu with Prices – 3545 Airway Dr # 110, Reno

A friend we were with recommended we come here while in the area to get some coffee. I had never heard of the place or seen it before. When walking it you smelled a euphoria of all types of coffee and tea. A good selection. It is a small inside but stacked with fresh coffee beans, tea and other items like natural soaps, lotions etc. The owen was really nice and down to earth. He is very knowledgeable about the coffee beans, flavor, roasting process and taste. He will grind them for you if you like or you can buy the coffee beans. My favorite was the Southern Pecan for the sweet and the Uganda for the strong.

Sommelier’s Roast – Menu with Prices – 3700 Glenwood Ave suite 150, Raleigh

Recreational Caffeine as I like to say when I’m quoting myself… “Recreational Caffeine” Messer K. Specialities Baby Please as LUI Marco would say… A Sommelier could have pairing skills for Roasting, Grinding, Brewing and hey, this is Glennwood Ave. where just about anything is possible, and on a Monday Morning on a Day like Today, maybe even more so! Hey, In a place like this you can HobKnobbb with Bôôôôöb from Accounting, he’s here, you might get some great stock tips, hear about some Hot ETFs, or Or OR maybe even make a Friend, comma, comma, no period So how’s the Coffee? The Service is very Friendly, Polite and Patient and that is what I need! How are the Pastries? And a Friend, I need a Friend! Location I’m going to say this is the Best Coffee Shop in the Neighborhood and Crabtree to me is the Neighborhood So Really How is the Coffee??? Are you a Recreational Caffeine Enthusiast like me? Do you like Espionage Movies? Chinese Checkers for two and an hour to enjoy your taste of Coffee and a bite of whatever else You ordered ? Closed on Sunday like Chicfila

Lone Light Coffee – Menu with Prices – 1518 E High St, Charlottesville

I came to this Lone Light Coffee location because I heard they started roasting their own beans awhile back, but that they might still use Milli’s at their downtown location. I am glad I was finally able to have a try at them as I ordered an Americano. Charlottesville definitely has another great roaster in Lone Light, as their espresso roast was great quality. I’ll definitely be back, and hopefully grab a pie at the co-located Pie Chest (similar to how it is in the Downtown location). I also hope that they expand on their roasting!

Magic Beans Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 501 W 6th St, Lexington

I have Magic Beans shipped to me regularly in Alexandria, VA. I used to get beans from a couple of places in my area that also sell fresh-roasted, single-origin beans – and which I thought were pretty great – until I tried Magic Beans. Now I don’t want to drink any other coffee ever. Magic Beans isn’t just better than cheap diner coffee and corporate mega-chain coffee. Its better than anything you’ve ever had anywhere. Its worth mail-ordering, and actually even with shipping its cheaper than some places I’ve bought from in person. I promise you, no matter how great you think your current favorite coffee place is, until you’ve had Magic Beans, you don’t even really know what coffee is supposed to taste like. And yes, I’m also talking to those of you who already buy fancy, single-origin, coffee from hipster places that only do pour-overs, etc. Dump out the coffee you’re drinking right now and go order some Magic Beans.

Muldoon’s Hand Roasted Office Coffee – Menu with Prices – 5680 Timberlea Blvd, Mississauga

Note: There is NO TAX for your purchase of consumable goods here, e.g. coffee, tea. Hidden gem! I’ve been meaning to check out Mississauga’s coffee roasting scene, so after running out of beans, today was the day! I had a list of 3 places on my list that were coincidentally all in the 403/Tomken Rd. area. On the side of the building, Muldoon’s has a side entrance into their outlet store. They sell coffee machines, filters, Keurig pods, boxes of tea, & of course, coffee beans. At the back of their store, there is an automatic coffee maker and you are able to taste test the various flavours/roasts before you commit to a bag of beans! Ashley was very helpful and I tasted 3 different coffees before I decided what beans that I wanted. Since it’s primarily me who drinks coffee at home, I didn’t want a full lbs, so I got just under 11oz for $5! To give you an idea, the last bag of beans that I purchased was around the same size for $10USD. So you save more than 50% and there’s NO TAX. They also have a loyalty programme where you get a stamp for every $20 you spend and get a free bag of beans on your 6th visit. After this experience, I don’t think I’ll ever buy coffee beans at retail prices! Bonus: None of the beans have been roasted more than a week ago! Another Bonus?: Their coffee cups are biodegradable. And they are trying to phase out the K cups because they’re not environmental.

Cedar Coffee – Menu with Prices – 701 N Monroe St, Spokane

Best coffee in Spokane. Cedar was previously Couer Coffee in location. The new owner was a 1 to 2 times a day regular at Couer. He’s from the Ukraine where he still has a coffee shop – that he checks the web cam of regularly. The cafe in the Ukraine is very popular because they basically smuggle in quality coffee that no one else has, and make the effort to make it right. Well, that kind of care about quality persists with Cedar. Everyone that works at Cedar makes the best espresso they can, and if the pulls are not exactly what they want, they remake it. They talk about the flavors, and develop their own syrups. The owner also personally tries every roast, and likes to develop blends. The coffee is from Roast House, which sounds like a generic name but is perhaps the most meticulous roaster in the area. The old roaster from Couer (when they could roast) moved on to work at Roast House and informed me he has learned a lot about what it takes to run a consistent higher scale roasting company. Currently he baristas one or two days a week. *Mini update, the Hibiscus spiced tea is boss So maybe you are asking, where did the other star go? It isn’t about the coffee, service, or parking. For me there is a tension between aesthetics and intention. It looks a bit more like a more common coffee shop that is a mini clone for Starbucks. But I would still like to see them participate in the Art Walk, and change Art every month like so many coffee shops that support art. *Update: I have heard good things about expanding on things that turn a place to get coffee into a beloved community business, coming up. I will be pleased to add another star. *Update 2: Things are picking up. Art changed, signage is greatly improved, among all sorts of things. The owner could not be more serious about making the best coffee, and coffee shop he can. *Update 3: The shop has improved food options, which is greatly appreciated. I like the small russian cookies a lot, they got great with a coffee, not too sweet, not too big. But if I am more hungry I really like the bread for toast. That bread is unlike all the other local breads I have had by far.

Cup – Fine Coffee & Roasters – Menu with Prices – 339 Fleming Rd B-1, Charleston

Delicious, cutting-edge coffee drinks made all the more exciting because of the freshness of the beans–they purchase raw coffee beans and roast themselves. You can taste the difference. The names of the single origin farms are clearly displayed so you know exactly where your coffee is coming from. They are doing everything locally including making their own specialty whipped cream for espresso drinks. I had their unique saffron-infused espresso, and the owner Robbie explained that the Turks used to use saffron for a coffee flavor enhancement. Go find them at the farmer’s markets and chat them up.

Belux Coffee Roasters Menu with Prices 5430 McGinnis Ferry Rd #101B, Alpharetta

Welcome to the next innovative idea with coffee- this is a boutique coffee roastery (very few exist in Atlanta and in the US in general, but with a little help in getting the word out into the streets that roasting, and that making this a workshop is possible, perhaps these will show up more in downtown areas). This has a very workshop kind of feel if you like something hands on, educational, and wanting to understand coffee better rather to the next level after enjoying them in various forms, in various cafes. This place shows you the upcoming and traditional forms of preparing coffee (cold drip that takes 8 hrs to use cold water to slowly percolate, infrared technology, drip, and other traditional methods). the coffee beans are sourced directly and selectively chosen for quality. They even roast it in a large roaster once a week if you ever want to schedule a time to come in and see a large machine roasting green beans. The business model is to educate, encourage roasting/brewing at home, and to have a more get together kind of feel for those who want a more hands on experience. Good for large groups- not a place to come and do your work in the corner with wifi like cafes Coffee 101: 1. Dimensions of coffee: I’ll let Ben and Lucy, the owners of this cafe take care of the rest of explaining this concept, but coffee comes in many layers of flavor, as most coffee brewers know. Darkness vs. concentration. Darkness measures how long and how “burnt” a cofee is roasted. A medium roast, is harder to obtain b/c it is less inherently a less robust roast than a dark roast- but skill wise, it is much easier to roast a bean too long and get a stronger burnt flavor than it is to artfully create a robust but smooth blend, which is what mediums are known for. Concentration measures how long the grounds are steeped for. 2. Brewing methods: coffee comes in different aromas- Something that is more oily and heavier tasting is likely brewed in something like infrared or a french press- without a paper strainer, the oils stay. It is amazing how if you add a drip coffee method in, you can remove such a dimension and the coffee tastes differently altogether. This is what makes a coffee workshop fun- for those who want to play around and learn how coffee is brewed and how flavors are achieved, you want to come here and fully appreciate what goes into a coffee in dimension, concentration, and darkness. This place has a cold drip that takes hours to percolate all night. there’s the infrared. Drip coffee is becoming a big thing in the US. 3. Types of coffee- they have Indonesian, Colombian, blue mountain etc. All the coffees here are highly premium in quality and price. They even sell the aparatus and educational methods so people can go home and learn how to make quality coffee.
