On Nov. 22, 1978, Danny O’Neill picked his first batch of coffee beans in the mountainous, coffee-growing region around the Poás volcano while studying abroad in Costa Rica. Right then and there, he fell in love with the country, the people and the coffee—especially the coffee. Fifteen years later, Danny founded The Roasterie in his basement in one of Kansas City's great neighborhoods, Brookside. Since then, The Roasterie has become one of the most renowned specialty coffee roasters in the nation. In 2005, The Roasterie Café was opened back in Brookside. The Café has been named the “Best Coffee Shop” in Kansas City by "KC Magazine", two years running. To this day, nobody else does it like we do. Committed to finding the best coffees from around the world, The Roasterie buys its beans from small, specialty farmers for a fair price. Those beans are then roasted using a convection air-roasting method, instead of the more traditional drum-roasting method, to ensure superior consistency and a tastier, smoother cup of coffee.
