(Its the one that says COFFEE ROASTERS in the window)
Our customers asked us for years where they could come in and try our coffee. We resisted. We didn’t think it would be worth it. But finally in December of 2023 we agreed to give it a try.
Blind Coffee Roasters shares a roasting space with two of our roaster friends, Keri Elliott of Roasted By Mom, and Noreen Lanphier of Capitol Press Coffee Co. Roasted by Mom has operated a cafe in this space 4 days a week since we opened in 2020. We asked Keri if she would let us use the cafe space during the three days she wasn’t open, and we are so grateful she agreed.
After our first month, we were a little nervous to see if the cafe would still be sustainable. January is for New Years Resolutions and sometimes (*gasp*) cutting back on caffeine. We threatened our customers that we couldn’t keep going without them, and they showed up and kept us going. So far, it’s been a great experience to have conversations over coffee and build relationships with our regulars. We look forward to every morning, making our friends smile and trying out new coffee drinks.
What to expect
Here in our tasting lab, you can try our regular menu items, and sometimes get a taste of our subscriber exclusive beans! With these beans, we can offer any espresso drink you can think of with a rotating selection of syrups and specials. We bet you can’t find ‘piñon pine’ syrup just anywhere, and it tastes like extra buttery hazelnut. Yum! You can also find bags of coffee from all three roasters who use this space.
A huge thank you to our customers and to Keri Elliott for supporting us in this endeavor!
