Coffee roasters in New York
Manhattan roasting is a story of squeezed real estate: 787 Coffee (a Puerto Rico farm-to-cup operation with cafés all over the island) and Stumptown's Ace Hotel outpost anchor the scene, while the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Chelsea runs the spectacle end. The serious volume roasting happens across the river — see our Brooklyn guide — but for beans roasted on or near the island itself, this list is the real map.
New York is one of the biggest fresh-roast cities in our directory: 35 independent roasters and roaster-cafés across New York, New York, with 49,038 customer reviews between them.
