For years, we proudly served beans from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, a name synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and consistency. Partnering with an established roaster allowed us to deliver exceptional coffee from day one, backed by decades of sourcing expertise and roasting precision. It was an important chapter in our growth and helped shape our understanding of what great coffee should taste like.

But as we evolved, so did our vision.

We began asking deeper questions: What if we could tailor every roast specifically to our customers’ preferences? What if we could control the development of each bean to complement our menu, our food program, and the way our community enjoys coffee? What if the flavor in every cup was uniquely ours?

That curiosity turned into commitment.

Transitioning to roasting our own custom coffee beans has allowed us to take full ownership of the process, from green bean selection to final roast profile. We now work directly with importers and producers to source high-quality beans, then carefully develop roast curves that highlight the notes we know our customers love, whether that’s rich chocolate and caramel depth for espresso or bright fruit-forward complexity for pour-overs.

Roasting in-house isn’t just about control; it’s about connection. It gives us the flexibility to adjust profiles seasonally, create exclusive blends, and ensure peak freshness in every batch. Most importantly, it allows us to craft a coffee experience that reflects who we are and who we serve.

This transition marks more than a change in beans, it represents growth, intention, and a deeper commitment to quality. Every cup now carries not just exceptional flavor, but our signature.

And we’re just getting started.
