Connoisseur Coffee

I just found this place yesterday and I am so excited.I have found I get a bad reaction to most coffee and then discovered I don't react to coffee that is fresh roasted. That has put me on a quest to find the best fresh roasted coffee. I like it that it supports local businesses too, and I've found it's the best coffee (also the highest antioxidant rating).I usually look for shops that sell their coffee in bags so I can buy something with the roast date on it. I walked into Connoisseur coffee and was looking for bagged coffee when THEY POURED A FRESH BATCH OF ROASTED COFFEE BEANS INTO THE BIN IN FRONT OF ME - FRESH FROM THE ROASTER. Wow. Doesn't get fresher than that!!!The guy who helped me was so friendly and helpful. He gave me all sorts of information about the difference of coffee between different origins, and the acidity of different coffees etc. He was a wealth of knowledge. These guys know what they're doing.He told me they sell to a lot of restaurants so all of their coffee in the bins is no older than 2 days old. He asked some questions to match me up with the best coffee for me. I let him recommend one for me, and I'm drinking it now, and it's amazing! These guys have amazing people working there, amazing coffee, and fresh roasted. I'll be back soon.

Excellent! A roastery for coffees (green beans) from all over the world, 7 am to 5 pm weekdays (Sat: 8 am to 4 pm; closed Sundays). Supplies finest restaurants and coffee shops since early 1980's. Also service for individuals seeking bags of coffee (e.g. me) and delicious, aromatic cups of coffee (7 am to 1 pm). New find for me -- and I definitely recommend! Cheers!

This place is so cool! It's been around for 40 years and the prices are low because they cut out the middleman. I ordered a large double decaf latte, which was pretty strong, so I'll order a single shot next time. But it's definitely worth a try!

How have I failed to write a review for our favorite neighborhood coffee roasters!!? Service is always with a smile and friendly banter. As for the coffee - it's the best! We've tried almost all the blends and were very grateful for the decaf variety when we drank far too much coffee during the pandemic! Since then we've mostly stuck to the Woodside Blend. Tried (and loved) Mark's Blend as well. I often order small bags of these as gifts before heading home to England! Highly recommend this place for the freshest cup of coffee you'll enjoy at home.

Cute mom and pop's coffee shop. It seemed like everyone that came there were regular customers. They made fresh coffee and sell coffee beans.

Went back again 3 weeks later for more beans to try. This time, I also grabbed a bag of hot chocolate cos who doesn't love hot chocolate Once again, I appreciate how kind and patient the staffs are. Never a moment do I feel judged for not knowing my beans and caffeine. Aaron/Allan (sorry if I got your name wrong) was fun to chat with and exchange thoughts about coffee preservation and preferences. I like that they didn't care if I was coming in to buy a 1/2lb bag or a 6lb bag. They cared more about my experience with the coffee and would rather I buy what I can consume so I can enjoy my coffee. No loyalty rewards needed to bring me back. Just genuine people who loves what they do and can't wait to share it with us.Oh, I found out the "painful" way that their brewed coffee station is closed by 1pm. I was there by 3.30pm and had to drive an hour home just smelling coffee beans instead Lesson learned. I'll be back again soon!

I purchased 1lb of Vienna Roast beans and I was pleased with its flavor and taste notes. The beans seem to have been freshly roasted to perfection. This coffee was superior to the Vienna Roast beans I purchased from Amazon and a Watsonville roaster's. I plan to be a repeat customer.

The aroma...the tufts of smoke from the beans being roasted.. the woody, worn floor... the piles of sifted, fresh coffee beans... coming here is an experience, and so is drinking their coffee. Perhaps the best cappuccino I've ever had, and their black Light Roast was so smooth and delicious. An institution. 5 stars!!!!!

Nice coffee roaster facility, it is great to have a place to stop and get coffee ground to order and get a fresh cop for on the road.

I started looking for a place to get coffee beans when I bought an espresso manchine almost 2 years ago. This was the first local roaster that I tried and the one I keep coming back to for traditional fresh roasted whole coffee beans. I've tried others, but many use a third wave process with coffee that ends up tasting sour. For whole bean espresso, I like the mocha java/french roast sumatra mandheling blend for a darker roast, a light espresso blend (now called Connoisseur espresso blend), and the decaffeinated espresso blend. They are always helpful with recommendations on beans to try. I try to bring my own canister to save 25 cents and reduce unnecessary coffee bags.If I make it there before 1pm, I can also get some coffee from their coffee bar. It's great to have a high quality, local roaster in the area with a friendly staff.
