Awesome coffee definitely worth stopping getting a couple bags so fresh!!

This is not a prepared coffee shop. They are expert roasters and makers of phenomenal coffee. I delivered their cherries by the truckload and they made me a cup of their own coffee. This coffee is amazing. I plan on going this week to buy some roasted beans for my espresso maker and Moka pot. Very nice people.

This is not a coffee shop where cups are made to order. This is a roasting/distribution warehouse. I dont know why theres a review referencing small crowds or bills - they must have the wrong location.I knew this wasnt a store as soon as I opened the front door. Theres a small lobby for guests to sign in, and the adjacent area is full of coffee roasting machines and equipment.A worker introduced himself and I told him I found the place on Google Maps thinking I could buy coffee. He said they dont make or sell cups, but he could sell coffee by the pound if I was interested. I told him Id buy a pound bag and he offered me a free cup from their break room. He showed me their different kinds of beans and asked which I wanted - I told him the cup he made for me was good which actually was some custom blend (a mix of their house blend plus some kind of premium/deluxe dark roast) which he custom made and grinded up for me for $7. I tipped him a dollar for the free cup of coffee.A couple of workers passed by and were very friendly, but I could tell they typically dont have walk-in customers. Super nice considering the circumstances (I shouldnt have even been there).Parking is basically non-existent - you need to use local street parking which isnt in the best area. But you shouldnt be coming here anyways unless you own a coffee shop or want to buy crates of coffee.

Although this is a roasting and distribution center you can buy retail there.I have been buying coffee beans from T. M. Ward and its predecessor owners, the Balme family (3 generations) for more than 40 years. I like their coffee enough to have followed their multiple moves from a Quonset hut in Norwalk to their current location. They are in a run down neighborhood in a factory setting. However, after visiting multiple times and zeroing in on the coffee that I like, I usually order by phone (5 pounds in 1 pound bags). Even with shipping costs it is cheaper than buying from most other sources.

Arrived at seven, it wasnt crowded. The staff was very sociable and kind. The bill wont break you.

There is no coffee shop there that I could see. Just a scary old garage. ???

Only wholesale, no retail..

I wasnt there.
