What Makes The Roastery Mpls Different?

Fresh, Small-Batch Coffee Roasted in Minneapolis

We've been roasting coffee in Minneapolis since 1992, with a simple philosophy: great coffee starts with great beans and the skill to bring out their best.

Our master roaster, Jeremy Raths, has spent more than four decades studying, roasting and teaching coffee around the world. Today, he brings that experience to every batch we roast.

Instead of mass-producing coffee for warehouse shelves, we roast in small batches and ship promptly, so you can experience freshly roasted coffee at its best.

 

Home-Compostable Coffee Packaging

Great coffee deserves thoughtful packaging, too.

Unlike conventional foil coffee bags, our bags are compostable. When you've finished your coffee, simply remove the wire closure at the top and place the bag in your compost.

It's one more way we're working to make your daily coffee ritual a little more environmentally friendly.
