Galena Roasters Roastery
Known For
Live roasting sessions you can watch while sampling the day's fresh batch
Galena Roasters Roastery is where the beans for the main café actually get made, and the vintage and bright and airy mix of roasting equipment and clean-lined tasting tables makes it great for photos with real substance behind them. Watching a roast in progress while sipping a sample flight is a genuinely different coffee experience.
🕐Best time to visit: Roast days — typically Tuesday and Friday mornings
Our Take
Galena Roasters Roastery is where the beans actually get roasted, giving it a behind-the-scenes authenticity that the retail cafe location can't fully replicate — the smell alone is worth the stop. Only six reviews means this one is genuinely undiscovered, and that's most of its appeal.
