What customers say

Definitely one of the best coffee shops in the United States among all I’ve ever been to! Beautiful setup, reasonable prices, experienced baristas and quality coffee beans. This hidden gem serves better coffee than most fancy sophisticated places in big cities!

The location of Rockford Roasting Company is in the Embassy Suites Hotel in downtown Rockford IL. The atmosphere is average, the service was friendly and efficient. The latte coffee was tasty and had a good price. The almond cake was fair. My overall score a 4.5.

Update: Came back for second visit and once again the coffee did not disappoint. This time I tasted a crisp;tasty espresso with fruity notes. Overall still good. My husband and I came to Rockford to pick up a shipment. We found RRC on Google.

I make a point of stopping at Rockford Roasting Company every time I’m in town—and never just once. The coffee is consistently some of the best I’ve had anywhere, and I say that as someone who has sought out small, direct-trade roasters all over the country for 15 years. Every cup is expertly roasted and brewed.
