A working roastery in Woodstock where the espresso is pulled with the same care as the sourcing. Come for the shot; leave with a bag of whatever single origin they're running.

What we love

  • •Roasts on-site; customers can watch from the counter
  • •Distinct house roast style, running darker than the specialty average
  • •Traditional shot pull; espresso treated as a craft call, not a default
  • •Single-origin rotation: beans change with each roast cycle

Cedar Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Winston is a South African Barista Champion and roasts every bean in the cup. Order a single-origin pour-over; it's what serious coffee travellers cite when asked for the best they've had.

Run Rabbit Run Coffee Roastery★★ Specialty

One person sources the beans, roasts them, and pulls your shot, all from a counter inside a Woodstock clothing shop. The Kenyan single origins rotate; ask what's on.

Oscaffè★★ Specialty

A family roastery with Italian-Brazilian roots, built around a single-minded focus on Mogiana single-origin beans. Come for the espresso, leave with a bag that smells like it was roasted this week.
