We’re often asked why our food tastes so good. We always make it from scratch, right here in our kitchen, using exceptional ingredients. Every soup is prepared by hand, utilizing signature recipes. Each salad is created with fresh, hand-chopped veggies, and tossed with our house-made dressing. All sandwiches are made using our inspired signature spreads and fresh-baked ciabatta bread, and our desserts are certifiably delicious. Why all the extra effort? Because we’re passionate about creating kitchen-fresh food the old-fashioned way, and we know you can taste the difference.

At Cartel Roasting Co, our north star is to make good. To start, we make good coffee. Really good coffee. Our beans are carefully sourced from farmer relationships that we’ve been cultivating for years. We roast to highlight the natural, local flavor of the coffee. We love our craft, our science , and we love to share it with you. But we also want you to make good. We want humans to enjoy our coffee while they are doing the things closest to their souls. Our coffee is not roasted for a quick, easy caffeine fix. We hope our coffee pulls you into the gravity of it, like a black hole, and sends you spinning into your life dreams.
