What customers say

I recently bought an espresso machine and a nice grinder and wanted to find a local-ish roaster to buy beans from regularly. We tried two others and weren't blown away but then I did some research and found Roots Roasting.

Great local roaster with affordable bulk coffee. Equipment is labeled in a cool way. Coffee and small selection of baked goods. Highly recommend the teas as well

★★★★★ — Shalin, 2025-02

This is a great local coffee roaster/cafe with a casual atmosphere and clean aesthetic that balance touches of modern design yet still retains touches of historic charm.

★★★★☆ — Stephen, 2022-12

I just love this place! The miso maple latte was delicious. I normally don’t like flavored drinks, but this sounded interesting so thought I would try it. It did not disappoint. I also wanted to try a different coffee brewing technique and the staff was very helpful in assisting me to decide what to buy.
