Slow mornings,
seriously good coffee.

A corner roastery, one small batch at a time.

Kestrel started in 2014 with a used twelve-kilo drum roaster and a stubborn idea: that a neighborhood deserves coffee roasted this week, not last quarter. We still roast every bag ourselves, a few origins at a time, so nothing sits long enough to go flat.

We buy green coffee from importers we've visited, pay well above market for it, and let each lot tell us how it wants to be roasted. Light enough to taste the farm, never so light it bites. It's careful work — and it's the whole point.
