When you think of a roastery, what comes to mind? Is it a nondescript warehouse with little to no signage and a faint roasty smell? Due to some combination of space needs, proprietary secrets, and the unglamorous nature of the function\u2014you try matching a roast curve for eight hours, day in and day out, and tell me how sexy of a job it is\u2014roasting facilities have historically been more low profile affairs than their cafe counterparts.<\/p>\n

But recent years have seen an increased demand in transparency across all aspects of the supply chain. Folks want to know not just where the coffee is coming from and how much the farmers are paid for their labor, but how it is getting from its green form to its brown. This interest in roasting is leading many roasting spaces to up their aesthetic qualities; for many, roasting is now front of house.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us a bit about the new space?<\/strong><\/p>\n
We built The Roastery to allow the public to view the coffee roasting process. The building is 5,600 sq ft and includes a full coffee bar, beer and wine, food, and our roasting and production areas. There is a loft that allows people to sit upstairs and view the space from above. Our training center and cupping classes will occupy the space above as well.<\/p>\n
