We started in a garage with a 1kg sample roaster.

Eight years later, the roaster is bigger but the batches are still small on purpose. Here's how we got from there to here — and how to find us.

How we got here

The short version of eight years, roast by roast.

2018

First bags, sold out of a garage

Owner Priya Shah roasted her first batch on a 1kg sample roaster and sold bags to neighbors on a folding table.

2020

Moved into the Millrace Lane space

A former bike repair shop became the roastery. The bar in front opened a year later, once the roaster was running daily.

2022

First direct-trade relationship

Started buying Huila lots straight from Finca Los Robles, cutting out two layers of middlemen and paying growers more per pound.

2024

Subscriptions became half the business

Weekly and biweekly bean subscriptions now account for roughly half of what leaves the roastery each month.

We're a working roastery with a bar up front — you can watch batches roast most mornings.
