I've had the pleasure of frequenting Maple City Roasters since I moved to Michigan City and it's a coffee enthusiast's dream come true. Trust me when I say this, you're unlikely to find coffee beans of this caliber at such an affordable price anywhere else.
Maple City Roasters is a rare breed in our locality - they roast their own beans. The significance of freshly roasted beans cannot be overstated. They retain their natural oils which are responsible for the delightful aroma and flavor that coffee lovers crave. The difference between freshly roasted and store-bought beans can be likened to the difference between freshly baked bread and the pre-packaged variety - there's simply no comparison.
In addition to their standard offerings, they also have flavored coffees - an absolute treat for the taste buds. You'd be excused for wondering if they add sugars to these because they're that delicious. But rest assured, there are no added sugars, just pure, flavorful coffee. (I had to ask to make sure)
The variety here is impressive, with beans sourced from all around the world. Each variety brings its own unique flavor profile to the table, providing a delightful exploration of global coffee tastes. I enjoy the Sumatra Dark Roast myself, but often buy a little of everything and have not bought something I haven't found something to like about yet.
The owner of Maple City Roasters is a huge part of why this place is so special. His friendly demeanor and extensive coffee knowledge make each visit a joy. Seeing him behind the counter, I'm always reassured that I'm in good hands. My usual haul? About 10 bags of coffee beans, a testament to the exceptional quality they offer.
While I believe you can find their coffee in local Al's supermarkets, I strongly recommend visiting this store yourself. The experience of choosing from their extensive range and the aroma of fresh coffee is not to be missed.
In short, Maple City Roasters comes with my highest recommendation. Whether you're a seasoned coffee aficionado or a casual drinker, this place is a must-visit for exceptional, freshly roasted...

Me and my girlfriend walk-in 3 minutes before closing on Sunday, 10/16, and there wastwo ladies working, and then two other ladies were in a group together, so six people were in there as we walked in. My girlfriend and I pick out our two bags of coffee and step in line, giving the two ladies in front of us some space not to be rude. Five minutes or so pass, and some man walks in, cuts to make himself a coffee, and the ladies who made eye contact with me and my girlfriend SEVERAL times chose to help him first. To make things even better, the older lady working still refused to help at all while glaring at my girlfriend. Finally, they decided to help us after helping the man who cut. I try to pay, and the younger lady says the card is declined. I can see in my banking app that she never swiped the card. I probably won't return when we visit my parents, who live...
Read moreMy husband and I travel through the state of Missouri a lot for his job as a Minnesota contractor. I’m the coffee drinker and he’s a good sport about my pursuit of quality coffee shops. Maple City Roasters did not disappoint! I drink a no flavor latte so I tend to notice good espresso. It was yummy 😋 Not Smokey or overpowering but smooth. Since they roast their own beans I picked up a pound but haven’t tried it yet! BTW the owner was...
