Coffee is no longer a commodity

It defines a community. It tells their story. Locally. Globally.

Everywhere in-between.

So, at The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company, we’ve made it our business to help tell that story. Inspired by our roots from an Eastside Detroit neighborhood to the street-side cafes of Seattle in the early 90’s, we began in a garage with little more than a leap of faith and a dream. Our fascination with coffee, and its ability to bring people together, inspires everything we do. After all, as we travel the globe to source only the finest coffee beans, it’s no longer just our story. It’s the farmer’s story. And his family’s story. It’s a story about relationships, and sharing a common passion that bridges cultural divides. Here, in the conversations we share over a thoughtfully selected cup of coffee, we are refining what it means to be an even greater community. So, whether you’re sipping from your favorite mug at home or savoring that last drop at one of our bars, know that you are part of that story. Because at The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company, it’s not just about what you’re drinking… It’s about the journey to your cup, the relationships we share, and where we’ll go from here.

Stay rooted.
