A Specialty Coffee Roaster
We travel the world looking for amazing coffee from purposeful people with remarkable stories.
We then bring it home to roast, for you.
We at Battle Grounds feel a deep connection to every one of our roasted coffees. We know the areas where they’re grown. We know their producers. We know their stories. We know how important coffees are to their local economies. We know how they respond to the heat in our roaster. Every one of them, unique in its own way. We love how they smell. And we love how they taste. We hope you’ll find the same joy in your cup as we do in ours. Thank you for your interest in Battle Grounds coffee!
Our roasted specialty coffees
Our always and forever coffee. If you like the taste of baker’s chocolate and caramel but with an unapologetically tart side, you’ll love this flavour profile. With a body that is full and lingering, this is our signature blend.
Featuring our favourite coffees from Central America, this blend offers a strong body, full of dark chocolate and brown cane sugar with hints of cinnamon and pepper. This is your all-day, every-day coffee.
