Best coffee suppliers for mid-south.

Hi all, I'm planning to open a shop in Central Arkansas and was looking for suggestions of good roasters in the area. I'm aware of Cafe' Darte and the roasters in the Northwest but didn't know if I should be thinking about roasters closer to where I am.

Suggestions please.

Jon

    Incoming self plug!

    We are new here in the Upstate SC area, but we are a roastery that specializes in rotating in and out small lots from various farms while keeping in a few regions year round.

    We allow for custom roasting, allow our clients to pick a crop they want exclusively for themselves if they desire, and will blend espresso in any manner you desire (pre blending, post blending, double roasting, or anything crazy you can think of!) We also do exclusive blends for any wholesale customer willing to take the time to sit down and work on one with us.

    Lastly, our coffee is always roasted as you order for wholesale customers, so its guaranteed fresh!

    Contact me at lhudek@theoldworldcafe.com for any questions, and visit us at www.theoldworldcafe.com

    Jon,

     

    Are you looking for any custom printed coffee cups or coffee sleeves for your coffee shop.

    Hello everyone,

     

    One roaster I haven't seen in this discussion is KALDI'S COFFEE in St. Louis. They are host to the South Central Regional Barista Competition. We use them here in Kansas City. They do a really great job. The Kaldi's guys are very easy-going and overall they get the job done consistently. Though, I'm not sure if they ship to AR. It would surprise me if they didn't.

     

    Cheers,
