Awaken Community, One Cup at a Time.
At Kaladi Coffee Roasters, we're passionate about delivering exceptional coffee experiences that ignite a sense of community and connection. Our journey began with a desire to restore the promise of the specialty coffee revolution, which had devolved into a chain mentality, serving over-sweetened beverages that may or may not contain actual coffee. Our founders, Mark and Andrew, envisioned a coffee company that would prioritize quality, sustainability, and community.
Our Purpose
We're committed to sourcing the highest quality coffee beans from farmers who demonstrate sustainable growing practices and respect workers' rights. We follow the philosophy and practice of Fluid-bed Air Roasting, pioneered by Michael Sivetz, to skillfully produce excellent-tasting coffee from customized equipment. Our expertly trained staff are dedicated to mastering the skills necessary to produce consistent, excellent-tasting coffee. We believe that great coffee is only as good as its preparation, and we're passionate about sharing our passion with you.
Our Values
At Kaladi Coffee Roasters, we champion community, both locally and globally. We support local causes in our community and cooperative enterprises in the communities from which we source our coffee. We're not interested in world domination; instead, we supply locally owned cafes and coffee bars, setting a new standard for coffee quality and helping others achieve that standard.

Our Story
Legend has it that coffee was first discovered by a goat herder named Kaladi, who stumbled upon the stimulating effects of coffee berries. We're inspired by this story and strive to spread the joy of great coffee throughout our community. Our staff is dedicated to mastering the art of coffee-making, and we're passionate about sharing our passion with you.
