Whiting Coffee

Hard to describe how special this place is to me. As a lover of fresh local coffee and dark chocolate this place is a dream. The atmosphere is straight forward and you feel like part of a secret bittersweet family. Extremely reasonably priced, organic choices, local chocolates and bulk quantities as well. Best part is the free fresh samples and family atmosphere.

I tried the fresh roasted beans. We ground them ourselves at home with our burr grinder and brewed the coffee at 200 degree water and at 1.25 minute bloom time. It was the Costa Rican. We found the roast over powering. I do enjoy a strong roasted coffee but I did not find this to be to my liking especially with all the five star reviews I wanted to be blown away. I am willing to give them another chance and will at some point go in and try something else. As a coffee snob I am very picky and found there roast to be a disappointment as it tasted burned.

The best roaster in town.
They close for two weeks in July — stock up!
No plastic, cash or check (remember checks?) only
closed Mondays (doh!)

A fantastic local coffee roaster. Most of their coffee is roasted to medium, but they do have a dark roast or two. Besides the myriad of coffee offerings, this is also the place where I get my English crack: Carr’s Ginger Lemon cookies. (If I lived across the street from this place, my chin would soon disappear like many of my British brothers.) They also have a fine selection of jams and tea biscuits.

Whitings has coffee, tea and now they have me. But they do have a lot more as well — you’ll find any and all accessories to further your coffee or tea sipping enjoyment. Grinders, kettles and cups; cookies, crackers and biscuity type snacks with jams and spreads to put upon them; a great quality over quantity assortment of goods. Of course, the real goods are their impressive assortment of coffees — all listed up on a huge chalkboard up behind the counter. Domestic and international, single source and blends — I imagine they’ve got you covered whatever your bean preference and the staff there is friendly and will help you make your decision.
A former co-​worker of mine in Boston told me that her entire family, spread out across the country, gets their coffee mailed to them from Whitings and I don’t think you can get a better endorsement than that. If you’re looking for something other than your local Flying Star (etc.) coffee to bring home, look no further — you’ll likely find no better.

cool little local shop with lots of worldy imports: coffees, teas, glassware, dishware, chocolate, pasta, etc…
cash only
great coffee!
