Bronze Bean Coffee Lab

bronze bean roasts its own coffee, and that single fact changes everything about what ends up in your cup. sourcing and roasting under one roof means the people pulling shots are also the ones deciding how long a bean stays in the drum, which gives the whole operation a coherence that's hard to fake when you're buying pre-roasted from a middleman. birmingham's coffee scene has grown up fast, and lab-style roasters like this one are a big reason why. if you're in the area near downtown, it's worth building your morning around a stop here rather than treating it as an afterthought. the coffee is the point. start with whatever single-origin pour-over is on the board that day.
