Buffalo roaster that began wholesale, now with four cafés of its own.
Ben Trojan, who spent a decade in coffee including Peregrine Espresso in Washington, D.C., and programmer Joshua Halliman started as a wholesale roaster supplying Buffalo cafés. The first cafés came after they met local building owners who wanted something new in their properties.
They roast on a Diedrich IR-12 and roast lighter to keep distinct tasting notes. In 2018 they said they loved fruity natural-process coffees. Bags on the site include single estates from Brazil, Peru, Guatemala and Ethiopia, plus a Mexican decaf.
