Bellingham Coffee Roasters is a family-owned and operated micro-roastery founded in 2006 by Fernando and Emma Torres, a Colombian couple who immigrated to Bellingham, Washington in January 2000. Coming from Colombia, one of the world's largest coffee producing countries, their deep passion for coffee sparked the foundation of what has become a respected small-batch roasting operation in the Pacific Northwest.
The company was established with one clear mission: to source, roast, and brew the finest coffees from around the world, sharing their passion and expertise one cup at a time. The Torres family has been carefully building relationships with coffee farmers and importers since 2006, ensuring not only consistency but the highest quality in every cup they produce year-round.
Bellingham Coffee Roasters prides themselves on their small-batch, hand-crafted coffee roasting approach, which they believe is reflected in each and every cup they serve. Operating from their roastery at 4054 Hammer Drive in Bellingham, they focus on sourcing exceptional coffees from various origins including Indonesia, South America, and Central America.
The company offers an impressive range of signature blends, including their popular Bellingham Bay Blend, Fairhaven Blend, Morning Header Blend, Viking Blend, and HomeBrew Blend, alongside single-origin coffees and direct trade offerings. They also provide wholesale services to local businesses and cafes, including training and support to ensure their partners can achieve the perfect cup.
Bellingham Coffee Roasters has gained recognition throughout the Pacific Northwest, with customers praising their exceptional coffee quality. The company maintains a strong community presence, participating in the Bellingham Farmers Market and developing a loyal following of coffee enthusiasts who appreciate their commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Their roastery is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm, welcoming visitors to experience their hand-crafted approach to coffee roasting firsthand. With nearly two decades of experience, Bellingham Coffee Roasters continues to exemplify the artisanal coffee culture of the Pacific Northwest, combining Colombian coffee heritage with local Pacific Northwest values of quality, community, and sustainability.
