The Roasterie, The Minglement and The Coffee Museum are housed in this charming, nearly 100-year-old building constructed from old growth Island fir. Upon stepping through the doors of this famous, Historic Roasterie you become a part of the history of specialty coffee beginnings here in America. Inside there are plenty of coffee antiques that make up the museum as well as good music, local art, friendly island residents and the scent of fresh coffee being roasted and prepared.
The building is also home to Specialty Coffee and Fair Trade pioneer, Jim Stewart’s original coffee company, The Wet Whisker, which eventually became known as Seattle’s Best Coffee.
We are grateful for the mentorship and for the encouragement of Jim Stewart and for the opportunity he gave us to continue here in the on going history of this place and in the traditions that he with the help of others, created over 25 years ago. We still hand roast rare coffee beans of legendary flavor that you can feel good about buying.
