More roasters on your bar. Fewer order forms in your inbox.
I own Allez Café in Chicago, where we pour a rotating lineup of independent roasters. Every one of them came with its own order form, minimum and invoice.
Roasterra is the wholesale account I wanted: every roaster in one place. We’re bringing roasters on now, and the cafés on this list decide who comes first.
Free for cafés · Every roaster reviewed by hand · US only, for now

Questions
Anything else, write to hello@roasterra.com.
- What does it cost a café?
- Nothing. Roasterra doesn't charge cafés a fee. You pay the roaster's wholesale price and shipping at checkout, by card, straight to the roaster through Stripe.
- Which roasters are on it?
- We're bringing on a founding group of independent specialty roasters now, and every one is reviewed by hand. The names cafés put on the list decide who we invite first.
- Can I keep buying from my current roaster?
- Yes. If they join, they can invite you directly, and you'll order from them in the same account as everyone else you buy from.
- Where do you ship?
- US only for now. Coffee ships straight from the roaster, at the roaster's own rates.
- What happens after I join?
- You'll get a confirmation email. When roasters you'd buy from are live, we'll invite you to set up your café's profile and start asking roasters for access. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
