Our story
Roasted twelve blocks from your cup
Halfmoon Coffee Co. started as a two-group espresso cart outside the Alder Street farmers market. Today we roast every bean ourselves on a 15-kilo Probat in our back room, and still buy most of our coffee directly from the same families we met on our first sourcing trip.
We pay an average of 2.4× the fair-trade minimum — because great coffee starts with people who can afford to grow it.

From roaster to your cup
The Halfmoon Coffee Co. standard
Every cup, obsessively dialed in
Six small decisions that add up to a coffee you’ll cross town for.
Direct trade
We visit every farm we buy from and publish the price we paid on every bag.
Roasted weekly
Small 15-kilo batches every Tuesday, rested five days before they hit the grinder.
Dialed in hourly
Grind, dose and yield are re-checked every hour as the beans and weather change.
Zero-waste bar
Compostable cups, a grounds-for-gardens program and 10% off when you bring a mug.
Milk that’s worth it
Whole milk from Sunny Ridge Dairy, 40 miles away. Oat is always free.
Baristas, trained
Every barista completes 60 hours of training before they pull a single shot for you.
