about bench coffee co. roastery
a roastery that actually roasts, on breese street in brunswick, is rarer than it sounds. plenty of places in this city call themselves roasters and mean it loosely. bench coffee co. takes it literally, which means what's in your cup was probably turned here, on this street, not shipped in finished from somewhere else and quietly rebranded. brunswick makes sense for it, a suburb that's been quietly serious about food and coffee longer than most people give it credit for. the regulars who keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit or proximity alone. if you're in the area on a weekday morning, breese street is worth the detour.
