Company description

French Truck Coffee was inspired by a bag of coffee brought to me in 2009 by a cousin from San Francisco. The coffee had been roasted only two days before I made a cup, and drinking it was an experience I will never forget.

It opened my eyes to a concept that is at the core of all good food: use the best, freshest ingredients you can, treat them properly, serve them immediately, and the results will always be better than mass-produced.

We buy the best beans we can find, roast them in small batches, and get them to you promptly. Your coffee’s roast date is right on the bag so you know exactly how fresh your coffee is.

Thank you for supporting our mission to serve the best small-batch, fresh-roasted coffee!

-Geoffrey Meeker, Owner
