| - Went here for the first time today, as I was out of coffee beans, and heard that Sambalatte uses these guys. First impression was... it's tucked away in a nondescript industrial park building, with a very small sign. Counter that with friendly and helpful staff both on the phone and face to face.. and a facility that is spotless.. and smells like fantastic coffee. I expected to just do a quick in and out, but ended up getting caught up in a conversation about roasting and favorite beans and flavor and.. well, the employees are passionate, the facility is spotless inside, the beans are outstanding, and the price, at about $12 a pound, equal to some of the more preferential pound big name coffee chain blends, only.. so much better in taste I wouldn't blink at paying double, and still feel like I had a great deal.
Yes, it's really that good. And yes, the people who work there are some of the best, more knowledgeable, and low-key (read - not snobs) folks I've ever had the pleasure to meet, who clearly not only have a passion for roasting great coffee, but also for providing perfect customer service.
