The Wholesale Coffee Map, 2026

Behind every good café is a roaster selling beans by the case. Nationally, at least 2,586 of America's 6,818 independent roasters — about 38% — run a wholesale program supplying cafés, restaurants, and offices. But the share varies wildly by state. This map ranks all 50 states (plus DC) by the percentage of their roasters that sell wholesale: a read on where roasting is a supply business, not just a café side-hustle.

Methodology

A roaster counts as wholesale when its public business listing is categorized as a wholesaler or its own website confirms a wholesale/B2B program — so every number here is a floor: "at least N roasters sell wholesale," never an estimate. Shares are that floor divided by the state's total roasters in our directory of 6,818 independent US roasters; every state listed has at least 10 roasters. Recomputed on every data refresh; nothing is hand-entered.
