Always on the lookout for great roasters (I generally buy a bag of fresh roasted when I am visiting someplace). So who is your favorite local-ish (not necessarily around the corner, but at least within a reasonable driving distance) roaster?

For me:

  • Virginia (northern): Cafe Kreyol
  • Virginia (eastern shore): Eastern Shore Coastal Roasting Company
  • Virginia (Hampton Roads): Pale Horse Coffee

    We’re from all over the world, here’s mine for Bulgaria. The top 5 largest cities are about 4-5 hours away from each other by car so it’s all “local”.

    • Varna: Jasmin coffee. Three words: Yirgacheffe blueberry explosion!
    • Sofia: Martines coffee. They seem to like spicy coffee if that makes sense.
    • Sofia: Daboff. By fast the most popular in the country with a huge assortment. Too boogie for my tastes and their more affordable coffees didn’t exactly make me go wow. BUT, I had a Costa Rican coffee at 20€/200g that smelled of cocoa and chocolate, extremely light bodied, almost like tea so they deserved a mention.
