About Brooklyn Roasting Company

Founded in 2009, The Brooklyn Roasting Company buys, roasts and sells superb coffees from the world’s most renowned growing regions. We favor certified coffees (Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, organic) and unique auction-lot coffees. All of our beans are roasted every day and expertly packaged in our state-of-the-art production facility in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard to maximize flavor and freshness. The Brooklyn Roasting company work environment is collaborative, innovative, fun, and fast-paced.

Come join a rewarding, fun and hardworking team that is enthusiastic about coffee and committed to Fair Trade, community support, environmental responsibility and sustainability! We are serious (but not snobby) about coffee and want people who are serious about working with coffee.

Our team at Brooklyn Roasting Company is comprised of employees with diverse business backgrounds.  We are looking for team members that are not only coffee professionals but great fits for our team.  We have immediate needs for store managers.
