Copan Coffee Roasters, LLC

somewhere between houston proper and the quieter stretches of tomball, a roaster doing things at its own pace is worth tracking down. copan coffee roasters sits on south persimmon street, which isn't a destination strip, and that's fine because the coffee is the point. they roast in-house, which means what you're drinking hasn't been sitting in a warehouse for three weeks waiting for a distributor to notice it. specialty roasting at this scale tends to be more deliberate than the big-volume operations, and you can feel that in how the menu holds together rather than sprawling in every direction. suite a on south persimmon isn't glamorous, but it's where the work happens. if you're in the tomball area on a weekday morning, this is a reasonable first stop before the day gets complicated.
