Golden State Coffee Roasters
Roasts Monday through Friday in a brick room big enough that customers book portrait shoots.
Curator’s note
The roaster and the counter share a building, and the bags name the farm and the farmer — Brazil Terra Nova off Danilo's family operation in Três Pontas, Guatemala Candelaria from Huehuetenango smallholders. Every bag ships with a pour-over grind option, which says plainly what Eric Scott expects people to do with his coffee at home, though the single-origin pages print no roast date and no varietal.
The coffee
Everything is roasted in the building; the seven-coffee retail line runs $18 to $21, from blends like the 1850 Espresso (Ethiopia, Guatemala, Sumatra) to the single-origin Brazil Terra Nova, a natural off Danilo's farm in Três Pontas with a 28-hour static-box fermentation, though neither single origin's page prints a varietal or a roast date. The menu board keeps pour-over as its own hot-column line beside drip, with cold brew and nitro on the cold side.
The room is exposed brick under a wood-beam ceiling, with Spanish-style archways, live-edge tabletops and enough floor that customers book it for portrait sittings and the shop still runs holiday pop-ups in the spare space. A classroom sits beside the roasting room, which explains what all that square footage was actually for.
