Updates:
Some of our prices for our coffee and merchandise have changed, including some increases. We apologize for this necessity but as prices rise for obtaining coffee we unfortunately must also raise prices to reflect this. We always strive to keep our coffee and other items as fairly priced as we can, and appreciate your understanding in this.

Just So You Know(s):
Monthly Mail Order: Tired of forgetting to order in time before you run out? Sign up for our Monthly Mail Order! Mailed out on the first consecutive Tuesday or Wednesday of the month, we will package and either ship or set for pick-up whatever coffee you sign up to purchase. This can be whatever the Coffee Of The Month is, a preset selection such as Brazil or Bavarian Chocolate, or you can let us know your favorites and let us choose! Feel free to call to sign up or speak to a bean merchant on your next visit.
If you have decided to take up roasting your own coffee as a New Year’s resolution, we do have some of our unroasted, green coffee for sale. However, not all coffees are available for green bean purchase, and we ask that you come in to discuss it in person with one of our roasters rather than call the store. The discount for purchase is as follows:
1-4lbs = 20% off retail price, 5+ lbs of one type = 40% off retail price
Don’t forget we have a reusable container discount! It is 2.5% off price (covering the price of the store bag) Your container must have a lid or otherwise be able to be closed securely, and clean. We have cotton bags available for purchase if you have forgotten your container at home, but please keep in mind we will only put whole bean coffee in these.
We have available for purchase black drip coffee to go, only $3 a cup, and the large burlap bags that our green coffee arrives in, $1 per bag.
We are so thankful to still be nestled in the same great storefront, in the same wonderful city, nearly 50 years later. Not many businesses can say they’ve been able to provide continuous service with their original ownership, and we know so much of that is due to our amazing customers. Give yourselves some much deserved back pats! Whether you’ve just come across us while walking downtown (that delicious roasting scent lures many) or you found us years ago, keep coming back and recommending us to others, it’s because of you that we get to do what we love every day. THANK YOU! We look forward to our Golden Anniversary next year, and dare we say 50 more? The world may change, but the need for coffee is forever.
We will be posting more this coming year to stay connected, so check back here often for the latest updates and news!
