This place is a hidden gem. I have tried multiple roasts and have not yet been disappointed. I've made single-cup pour-over, drip coffee with a Moccamaster, and espresso with their roasts and all are incredible. I highly encourage people in the area to get their coffee here!
I went there for the first time this morning and had a pleasant experience. I met Jeremy, who was very welcoming. He helped me identify a product that may be a good fit for my tastes. Everything available was roasted that same day, and the prices are great for Fair Trade Organic. I brought it up, brewed up a cup, and was very happy with it. I will definitely come back here once I run out to try something different.
Been going to him for months, amazing place and even better coffee!
We stumbled upon The Roastery and now I’m spoiled! I don’t consider myself a coffee connaisseur but I could legitimately taste a difference in these beans from all the other beans we’ve bought…and it’s by far my favorite coffee I’ve brewed from whole beans at home. Loved it! Plus, it was so fun on a Saturday morning to chat with the owner who was there roasting the beans and telling us stories and answering our questions. We’ll definitely be back for more beans.
Update April 2023: I still regularly order from these guys. The beans show up the day after I order them now, but they're still extremely fresh and high quality. One of the few places that still give you a full 1 lb of beans instead of the now-industry-standard 12 oz. I still wish there was more information on the website about the beans like roast level and processing method instead of a vague description, but it doesn't prevent me from ordering. Original: Just ordered from this place for the first time last week. I've been a customer of a few other local roasteries, but (maybe it's due to my location) having the beans show up on my doorstep a mere 3 hours later after ordering is... impressive. All the other roasteries use UPS or USPS to get the coffee to my door. That's not even getting into how good the beans are. The roast is spot-on and the beans are ultra-fresh when I get them. Sometimes I have to wait a few days for them to off-gas. That's the downside of super fresh coffee! The only thing missing for me is some information about the coffee on the website, like roast level, altitude, how it's processed, etc.
The best coffee roaster in the Twin Cities!
