After searching across the state and internet for shops/delivery services to buy my beans, this place has absolutely met or exceeded all of my expectations.
As someone that prefers the bright acidity and fruitiness of East African coffees I was thrilled to see three Ethiopians (Harrar, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe) plus a Kenyan AA ranging from $16-21/lb (compared to the $18-24/12oz that many third wave roasters charge for similar offerings) that had all been roasted within the previous week.
The owners were clearly very knowledgeable about their product and were happy to offer tastes and samples based on my preferred brewing method to help inform my future purchases of which I'm sure there will be many.

Igor and Ina are the best and two of the hardest working people I know! You can tell there is true vision behind what they're doing, to provide exceptional coffee to the community. You will not find better coffee in Danville or...
