New Jersey's Freshest Coffee Roaster

New Jersey is home to dozens of coffee roasters, but very few roast their coffee on-site, source directly from farms, and serve it fresh in a cafe — all under one roof. Roast Coffee Company does all three. Since 2014, we have been roasting small-batch specialty coffee on our Diedrich roaster at 200 Tuckerton Road in Medford, NJ, and serving it to a growing community of coffee lovers across the state.

Our approach is simple: buy the best green coffee we can find from farms in Ethiopia, Colombia, Kenya, Guatemala, and beyond. Roast it with care to bring out each origin's unique flavor. Get it to you while it is still at peak freshness — whether you are picking it up at our cafe, receiving it through your coffee subscription, or ordering it from our online shop.

We serve a full cafe menu including espresso drinks, pour overs, cold brew, breakfast sandwiches, and house-made acai bowls. We also offer wholesale coffee for NJ businesses, restaurants, and offices. Everything we do starts with freshly roasted, specialty-grade beans — and that makes all the difference.

We roast on a Diedrich roaster — a commercial drum roaster known for even heat distribution and precise airflow control. Diedrich roasters are a favorite among specialty coffee roasters because they give the roaster fine control over development time, bean temperature, and the rate of rise — all of which affect the final flavor profile.

Every roast we do is a small batch. We don't try to roast as many pounds per hour as possible — we roast what we can pay close attention to. Each origin gets its own profile: light roasts are developed slowly and pulled early to preserve brightness and fruit character; darker roasts are pushed further to develop caramel sweetness and a heavier body. We don't apply a single roast curve to everything we roast.

After each roast, we cup the coffee before it goes on sale. Cupping is the industry standard method of evaluating coffee: we brew small portions of each batch simultaneously and taste them side by side, looking for off-flavors, inconsistency, or anything that suggests the roast missed the mark. If a batch doesn't cup well, it doesn't ship.

We roast multiple times per week, and every online order is roasted to order — your beans aren't pulled from pre-roasted inventory. When you place an order, it triggers a roast. Your beans are packaged immediately and shipped the same day, so they arrive within the 3–21 day post-roast peak flavor window that specialty roasters aim for.

The result is coffee that tastes the way it was designed to taste — vibrant, complex, and distinctly different from what you'll find at a grocery store.

We're based in Medford, NJ, and our customers come from all over Burlington County, Camden County, and the wider South Jersey area — from Marlton and Cherry Hill to Mount Holly, Voorhees, and beyond. The cafe at 200 Tuckerton Road is both our roasting facility and a full-service cafe open seven days a week.

In addition to espresso drinks, pour overs, and cold brew, we serve breakfast sandwiches, wraps, acai bowls, and house-made pastries. It's the kind of place you can come in for a cortado on the way to work, stay for a pour over and a book on the weekend, or bring the family for breakfast.

For New Jersey businesses, restaurants, offices, and cafes, we offer wholesale coffee programs with flexible delivery schedules and custom roast profiles. We're proud to supply freshly roasted beans to businesses that care as much about coffee quality as we do. If you're interested in wholesale coffee for your NJ business, contact us directly or visit the cafe.

Whether you're shopping for beans online, picking up a coffee subscription, or stopping in to watch the roaster run — we're glad you're here. Specialty coffee in New Jersey is a growing community, and we're grateful to be part of it.
