Rose Park Coffee Roasters

A Giesen W15 has been running since around mid-2018, and every one of the nine single origins on the retail line carries region, elevation, producer, varietal and process (everything except a roast date). Phillips has said outright that a well-dialed batch brewer holds consistency in a cafe better than a pour-over does, and none of the three Rose Park shops runs a pour-over bar.

Rose Park roasts its own on a Giesen W15, installed around mid-2018, with green sourced through three named importers (Cafe Imports, Red Fox Coffee Merchants and InterAmerican Coffee) for a rotating line of nine single origins plus three blends. Lot pages go deep, the Kenya Uteuzi Jimbo reading Embu, 1,300–1,900 masl, Batian/SL28/SL34/Ruiru 11, washed, though no roast date appears on any product page.

Camp Design built this room out end to end (concept, custom furniture, custom lighting, signage and the hand lettering), including the “Welcome to the Process” wall that Rose Park liked enough to make the design theme of its next two shops. A tagline painted on a wall in 2014 that later told two more rooms what to look like is a decent argument for getting the first one right.
