The 51 Best Specialty Coffee Roasters and Brands in 2024

There are thousands of coffee roasters in the USA, and many well-known coffee brands like Starbucks and Peet’s Coffee, but are they the best?

We set out to define who we believe (as coffee professionals ourselves) are the best coffee roasters from which you, as the consumer, should be purchasing coffee. While we must admit we haven’t tried all 3,212 coffee roasters on this list (and surprisingly, many are missing), we do list the roasters we have experienced in the past and consider truly high-end specialty coffee.

The best specialty coffee brands in the USA are multi-faceted, with diverse and distinct offerings. Each brand has its own unique background, from the founders' story, the missions they attach to, the producers they purchase from and support, down to the size of the company, from the very large to the very small (like us, only two employees).

Before we dive in, we wanted to introduce ourselves. We are Coffee Bros., a specialty coffee roaster based in NYC, founded in 2019. We pride ourselves on what we deem as the four pillars of running a coffee company: sustainability, quality, consistency, and freshness. You can read more about our company and mission below.

As coffee roasters, we sample and cup thousands of coffees a year between what is sent to us from our partners and through the quality control of our coffee. We also love to see what else is on the market and explore what amazing things other coffee companies are up to, which is how and where we get our opinion for this list.

This blog is for specialty coffee lovers looking for a unique perspective on the best coffee roasters and brands in the United States of America. If we left off your favorite brand, or maybe it is your brand, shoot us a message, as we are always open to trying coffee roasters and considering them for this list! The list below includes some of our favorite coffee roasters, all of whom we have interacted with from purchasing their coffee online, drinking their coffee in a café, or roasting in the same facility as those on the list.

Though most of the list is in no particular order, those toward the top are the ones we’ve interacted with most, whether they are roasters we have worked closely with, have been highly influenced by, or have enjoyed their coffee the most.

Everyone on the list are roasters we have personally experienced and can deem as truly specialty coffee and ones that we personally support and recommend.

What makes Onyx Coffee special: In our eyes, Onyx Coffee may be the pinnacle of specialty coffee in the United States of America and a company we pull much inspiration. Not only does Onyx have some outstanding and notable staff, such as Lance Henrick, Morgan Eckroth, Mark Davis (previous roaster), and many others, but they also tell the story of coffee extremely well and have lasting and positive relationships with most of if not all of the coffee they source.

Onyx is a powerhouse in the specialty coffee industry and what we deem a mover, where many smaller brands gain inspiration and knowledge to help move the needle with transparency, sustainability, and overall quality.

The Onyx transparency report that exists on every coffee page is something that every specialty coffee roaster should work toward. Onyx also greatly details its efforts toward environmental sustainability and goes above and beyond to break down better flavor and roast profiles for each coffee. If that wasn’t enough, Onyx is the leader in the design, marketing, and visualization of the entire coffee supply chain, and purchasing a coffee on its website is beyond a pleasant experience, which is tough to say for many e-commerce sites.

Knowing Paolo personally and professionally, it is easy to see why Regalia is considered one of the best coffee roasters in the country.

Setting them apart, they directly engage with farmers, surpassing fair trade limitations. This roaster brings exceptional coffee to San Diego and champions ethical practices and utmost reverence for the growers.

What makes Bird Rock coffee so special:

Bird Rock started in specialty coffee in 2002 on a small home roaster and sold only at farmer’s markets. Today, Bird Rock Coffee is consistently voted the best coffee roaster in the US, with many highly rated coffees on their menu.

Bird Rock has been there from the beginning of the specialty coffee movement and is certainly a company we draw inspiration from. Bird Rock features fantastic coffees worldwide and supports organizations like Cup of Excellence, where they source many of their award-winning coffees.

We love Bird Rock for its extensive offering of high-quality single-origin coffees and blends. Bird Rock has often created coffees that support individual organizations, like their Project Waterfall coffee which donates $1.00 per bag to The Allegra Foundation.

About: The journey began with four friends asking how to create a business to impact locally and globally positively. Inspired during a trip to the Philippines, Jelynn Malone and Beverly Magtanong, along with Sam (a veteran) and Mike (a chef and roaster), merged their gifts and heritage. Mostra Coffee emerged, aiming to elevate performance through exceptional coffee. They invest in San Diego through education, empowering their community. Globally, they source quality beans from the Philippines, supporting an underserved region. From its first shop to expanding worldwide, Mostra Coffee remains dedicated to its mission. Their journey encompasses helping farmers, winning awards, and producing coffee that tastes and does good.

What makes Mostra coffee so special:

A list of the top coffee roasting brands in the US would only be complete by mentioning Mostra. Mostra Coffee and roaster Nick Berardi took home the coveted 1^st place trophy at the US Coffee Championships in 2022. The intense three days of competition across six stages gave Nick and Mostra entry to the World Coffee Championships in Milan, Italy,

Our story with Mostra started with a phone call with one of their owners about a project we were working on. There are very few times when you come across someone so genuine and supportive of someone else’s ideas and business (especially in the same industry), and that is how we felt when we spoke to Sam of Mostra. Mostra strives to bring people together, serving excellent coffee with a smile each and every time. Though we have never been to a Mostra location, we certainly felt this passion over the phone and can’t wait to visit one of their locations.

About: Since 2007, Abraço, a renowned Manhattan coffee bar, has been a haven for East Village locals, offering love and beverages. Beginning as a compact space with lines extending outside, Abraço has now relocated across the street, providing more room and a complete food menu. Co-owners Liz Quijada and Jamie McCormick established the café out of a shared New York desire. The café exudes a family-like ambiance, empowering staff to engage in all aspects of the operation. McCormick, the roaster, sources coffee globally with an emphasis on quality and serves coffee via various methods, prioritizing sustainability and organic ingredients. The café's unique charm, community, and dedication stand out in the ever-changing landscape of Lower Manhattan.

What makes Abraco espresso so special: Abraço was our first “wow” moment as a consumer before entering the specialty coffee industry. It was in about 2016 or 2017 when drinking a cortado where the coffee was both expertly roasted and brewed by Jamie. The coffee easily cut through the milk with a ripe strawberry note, almost comically distinct. The notes of fresh strawberry were so distinct that I thought I may have unknowingly ordered some flavored beverage not on the menu. Turns out, we just drank a Grade 1 naturally processed coffee from Ethiopia that year, and a few years after, it was a prevalent note in the coffees coming out of Yirgacheffe. That sip of coffee opened my eyes to what specialty coffee can be, and since then, I slowly worked my way into the industry to try and share a similar experience with others. That strawberry note is something we chase each year in our Espresso Roast and is exceedingly hard to find in Ethiopian coffees, and processing methods slowly change toward “cleaner” tasting coffees.

Abraço has a special place in our hearts and is where we end up after every roasting session to dive into their wonderfully tasting coffees and baked goods.

About: At 22, Scott Rao founded his first café and roastery in Amherst, MA, which quickly gained popularity and outperformed a nearby Starbucks in sales. After selling this successful café, he ventured into the New Zealand coffee scene before returning to the US to establish a restaurant and coffee roastery inspired by his experiences abroad. Scott's influence continued to expand when he established a groundbreaking café in Montreal, making a global impact on coffee practices.

Transitioning from entrepreneurship, Scott authored books to aid roasters and baristas in refining their coffee craft. This effort led to a consulting career, where he advises coffee roasters worldwide and imparts advanced roasting knowledge in masterclasses. Moreover, Scott designs innovative coffee equipment and is the author of books like "The Professional Barista's Handbook" and "The Coffee Roaster's Companion," Scott's expertise is recognized in the coffee industry.

Now, Scott runs Prodigal, a coffee roastery, alongside Mark Benedetto where they source exquisite coffees that will be well developed, clean, and juicy.

What makes Prodigal Coffee so special: With over 30 years of experience in the coffee industry, from consulting, writing, and roasting, Scott Rao’s Prodigal Coffee brand made a huge splash when launched in late 2022. If you are a coffee roaster, you have most certainly come across Scott’s work through his extensive writing (both published and online) or through one of his in-person workshops. Scott has influenced how many coffee professionals roast through his studies and teachings around roasting theory. Scott's work has most certainly impacted us; I have attended many of his workshops and consulted with him early in our career to help navigate the complexities of roasting fine and delicious coffee. Knowing Scott’s passion and experience in the industry and tasting Prodigal firsthand, it’s a no-brainer to have Scott, Mark, and Prodigal on the list of the country's best coffee brands and roasters.

While it is not possible to taste coffee from every roaster in the USA, we try our best to hit on as many of the more popular roasters each month.  

A simple trade of one bag of our coffee for a B&W coffee opened our eyes to some delicious and well-roasted coffee from Brazil.

B&W has also been on our radar for being the 1st US roaster to trade with the new digital end-to-end platform CropConex. We always love reading stories about how roasters push to become as transparent as possible in the supply chain and CropConex pioneering technology for a more transparent trade.

About: In 2006, Steven Sutton, originally from Colombia, introduced Devoción, driven by the pursuit of creating incredibly fresh coffee. He recognized that roasting contributes only partially to coffee's flavor, with the beans' freshness playing a crucial role. Despite this, many coffee beans deteriorate in flavor over months. To combat this, the Devoción team takes extraordinary measures, even close to the cherry-picking stage. With over 1,000 carefully chosen farm partners, they oversee the drying process at their Bogotá facility, maintain control over exporting, and conduct roasting in Brooklyn. The aim is to deliver the freshest coffee experience to consumers, underscoring the importance of roasting and exceptional bean freshness.

What makes Devoción so special: Devoción is another NYC staple with arguably one of the nicest cafes in the city with their Williamsburg location, which also serves as a roasting facility.

Devoción is known for its beautiful and clean black and yellow branding, neat café space designs, and the desire to have the freshest coffee on the market by working directly with producers and shipping from their processing facility in Bogota to their roastery.

Devoción’s cafe location in Williamsburg, with its roastery, sample room, and office space, is aspirational for anyone in the coffee industry and has certainly impacted us as coffee professionals. Devoción is always among our top recommendations for anyone visiting NYC.

About: Blue Bottle perceives coffee from a unique perspective, a viewpoint they adopted two decades ago when they embarked on their modest mission. They played a pivotal role in reshaping how specialty coffee is presented today. Embracing the full spectrum of natural flavors, their vision was to introduce the world to the delightful intricacies of coffee.

Within 17 years, Nestle purchased a majority stake in Blue Bottle, which valued the company at more than $700 million.

What fascinates us most about the Nestle and Blue Bottle deal is that much hasn’t changed with how Blue Bottle approaches its coffee. Indeed, although they possess greater financial resources for broadening their café presence and securing expansive distribution agreements, Blue Bottle's fundamental essence has largely remained intact. The fervor and uncompromising standards that defined their beginnings as a startup persists today.
