ROASTING FACILITY

Our local roasting facility is located less than a mile away from our cafe in an industrial space. We’ve worked hard since 2014 to find a way to bring our unique roasting style to the coffee scene, not only in South Lake Tahoe, but in California. We’re stoked to have established a local headquarters where we can select our own unique and high quality coffees and roast them in our own style.

Our drive to begin roast coffee was inspired first by our love for our community. Good coffee was another inspiration, and finally, we felt that there was a style of coffee roasting we wanted that we couldn’t find. So we developed that style ourselves–complex, balanced, naturally sweet, and showcasing the awesome qualities that we admire from each unique origin. We’re stoked on everything from notes of hefty chocolates, to tropical florals–each flavor profile distinguished yet approachable.

The dream has always been to roast great coffee as well as have a place to serve them. Now we’re stoked to be doing exactly that. Experience the variety of our Familiar and Adventurous roasts, as well as our espresso and specialty drinks at our cafe.

Cheers,
Jared Marquez

PUBLIC CAFE AT BLUE GRANITE CLIMBING GYM

Visit us at our public cafe and first retail location, located inside Blue Granite Climbing Gym. We feature both our Adventurous and Familiar coffees, as well as a standard espresso menu and specialty drinks using fresh roasted coffee from our nearby roasting facility. Our menu also includes smoothies, snacks, and excellent burritos made by our friends at Verde Mexican Rotisserie.

It’s a privilege, after exclusively roasting coffee for several years, to be able to offer our craft for others to experience. As owner Jared Marquez expresses in our interview with Roast Magazine’s Daily Coffee News, “It just didn’t feel like it was really enough for me to be putting craft coffee bags with a stamp on the shelves of other shops,” said Marquez. “I really wanted to serve our coffee to people personally, to have that personal connection and provide that environment — that sense of refuge that I’ve been aiming for.”
