Mission Coffee Roasters
Mission Coffee Co.
What they make
Mission Coffee Co. is a Columbus coffee company that began with a Short North cafe and later added its own roasting. Current owner Matt Roberson, who took over in 2022, roasts on a 5-kilo US Roaster Corp machine on the city's South Side, where a coffee bar opened in 2023. The Short North cafe at 11 Price Avenue soft-reopened for coffee service in August 2024.

What 'Ohio coffee' really means
Coffee and tea plants do not grow in Ohio's climate, so the beans and leaves come from other countries. What is Ohio-made is the work in the middle: sourcing, roasting, blending and packing, done in small batches by local roasters.
That is a fair thing to buy, and a roaster that is open about it is a good sign. Look for a roast date on the bag, the origin of the beans, and whether the shop roasts on site.
Is Ohio coffee grown in Ohio?
No. The beans are imported. The Ohio part is the roasting and blending, which is where freshness and flavor are decided.
