Don Rogelio Café

a roaster operating out of la tijera, jalisco, where ramal de la tijera 1255 isn't a destination most people stumble onto by accident, tends to earn its regulars the hard way. don rogelio café has done exactly that. the kind of place where people who know coffee in guadalajara's western corridor quietly point you toward it, because they'd rather keep it for themselves. you won't find this one on the obvious circuit. what you get instead is roasted-on-site coffee from an independent operation that takes the sourcing side seriously, in a part of jalisco that doesn't depend on foot traffic to stay busy. come for the morning hours, when the roaster's work is freshest in the cup.
