Fair Trade coffee roasters in Ohio

11 roasters are known for fair trade coffee in Ohio — in Berea, Bowling Green, Chesterland, Cincinnati and 7 more cities. A roastery visit beats an online order: taste it brewed properly, ask what's roasting this week, and walk out with beans days off the roaster instead of months off a shelf.

Specialty tags come from each roaster's own website and menus, plus customer reviews; offerings rotate, so check current menus before a special trip.
