Coffee with clarity, care, and character.

The Cup & Thorn is a small-batch specialty coffee roastery. Every coffee sold here is personally selected, roasted, and packed in quantities small enough for careful attention and transparent roast dating.

Each coffee is roasted toward a clear result, with flavor notes and brew-method guidance stated plainly. Choose whole bean or a complimentary grind matched to the way you brew.


Four paths through the shelf

The coffees will change with season and availability, but the shelf is built to keep these four paths open. Small lots and holiday coffees may appear alongside them.

Without the Caffeine

Specialty coffee without the caffeine, chosen and roasted for flavor rather than compromise.

For Espresso

Coffees developed to hold their character under pressure, whether served straight or with milk.

Lighter Roasts

Brighter, more origin-forward coffees with clarity, sweetness, and room for nuance.

Deeper Roasts

Fuller, richer cups developed for body and depth without roasting away the coffee itself.
