Specialty Coffee
Coffee worth
slowing down for
Small-batch roasted, single-origin beans crafted into drinks that make your morning matter.
Est. 2019
From seed to cup,
every detail matters
Groundwork started in a tiny garage roaster on Division Street with one belief: coffee should be an experience, not just a caffeine delivery system. We source directly from farmers we know by name across three continents.
Every bean is roasted in-house in small batches, profiled to bring out the character of its origin. Whether it's a bright Ethiopian natural or a rich Colombian washed, we let the coffee speak for itself.
"Great coffee is an act of care — from the farmer who grows it to the barista who pours it."
— Maya Chen, Founder
The Roastery
Coffee we believe in
Direct trade, small-batch roasted weekly. Every bag tells the story of the people and place behind it.
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia
A naturally processed gem from the birthplace of coffee. Fruity, floral, and endlessly complex.
Notes: Blueberry, jasmine, lemon zest
Colombia Huila
Huila Department, Colombia
Washed process from a women-led cooperative. Sweet, clean, and incredibly versatile.
Notes: Caramel, red apple, chocolate
Guatemala Antigua
Antigua Valley, Guatemala
Volcanic soil, high altitude, old-world charm. Rich and full-bodied with a cocoa finish.
Notes: Dark chocolate, walnut, brown sugar
The Experience
More than just coffee
Single Origin Beans
We source directly from farmers in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala. Every bean is traceable to the farm it came from.
In-House Roasting
Our Probat roaster fires up three times a week. Small batches mean peak freshness in every bag and every cup.
Community Space
More than a coffee shop — we host weekly cuppings, barista workshops, and live music. Pull up a chair and stay a while.
