Little Waves Coffee Roasters

My favorite coffee roaster in the country. I've spent hours drinking this coffee at home, and getting to visit this grocery in person was amazing. The service and of course the coffee are spectacular. Not to mention the Beyond outstanding fresh churros

Yesterday (9/19/25) I received two bags of beans from Little Waves Coffee Roasters from my daughter who visited Cocoa Cinnamon in Durham NC. The roast date on both bags is 9/16/25. She was at the shop on 9/17, so they are incredibly fresh. Today I prepared them this morning as espresso trying to follow the roaster's recipe. I was very impressed with the quality of the beans and roast.

Little waves coffee roasters is my favorite local place to get beans! They are always so friendly, and the variety of beans they have is unparalleled. My favorite is their royal 7!

Don’t live in the area (in Alabama), but saw you on Omnivore so I had to order a couple bags. Your passion comes through in your product. Bags arrived in less than a week, impressive. I just want to state, this coffee is superb. Only tried it in pour over so far, but will be trying other brewing methods shortly. Amazing work.

Independent coffee roasters aren't too hard to come by these days but what beyond tasting great, makes coffee amazing is how it makes you feel. Knowing that a roaster strives to nurture the community within and beyond its walls, knowing that a roaster takes painstaking steps to care for the precious resource it serves, knowing that a roaster does everything within its ability to build a team of people who are taken care of and enter the shop full of respect each day... that makes for a different cup of coffee. Little Waves is more than coffee--it's a way of life; it's an inspiration; it is truly community in every sense of the word. Coffee is natural and will taste different years from now, but I will grow old remembering how Little Waves makes me feel.
