The Roastery
Our roasting facility is located at 210 Haywood Road in West Asheville NC, on the back side of Urban Orchard's Taproom building. This 2000 square foot space holds our Loring S15 Falcon, our sample roaster, green coffee buying and quality control lab, and training center.
The roastery is open Mon - Th from 9a - 3p.
Currently at the roastery, you can:
- Pick up an online order
- Purchase bags of coffee or bring a container for us to fill with the coffee of your choice
- Get a cup of nitro cold brew on tap
- Take part in a pop-up event or coffee cupping
Every cup of coffee is an opportunity...
An opportunity to be present, to be inspired. An opportunity for delicious alchemy.
We’re devoted to teasing out the sweetest notes from the freshest coffees.
We roast small batches in our West Asheville, NC roastery. That’s what gets us out of bed every morning.
We started Cooperative to chart a new way of doing business in the coffee industry.
After more than 15 years of working in specialty coffee, we’ve come to envision a future of coffee that is more intentional, inclusive, and open than it is today. We believe we each play a part in that future.
Because we’re all interconnected—from the farmer tending coffee shrubs in the hills of Huila, Colombia… to you, 7 am on your front porch, savoring a sip of that same coffee, freshly roasted.
Our aim is a balance between providing the tastiest coffee around and forging our own way of working and living that runs counter to mainstream capitalism.
For us, that starts with how we source our coffees...
"Their coffee never disappoints, and I am always blown away by their quality. We truly love every coffee we try from them.”
"Not only are their coffees consistently fantastic and thoughtfully sourced, their team truly puts their heart into everything they do."
