What they make

Roosevelt Coffee Roasters in Columbus was founded by Kenny Sipes. In 2022 it moved its roastery from Franklinton to a historic bank building in the Hilltop neighborhood, where it uses a Loring S15 roaster. The for-profit roastery operates alongside two nonprofit social-enterprise cafes under the Roosevelt Foundation. Its coffee is sold through those cafes and at Third Way Cafe in Hilltop.

Roasted in Ohio, grown elsewhere

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.
