Bristol has eight independent coffee roasters in this directory, a small but properly independent scene led by two B Corp names, Extract and Clifton, that have roasted in the city since the 2000s.
Clifton Coffee Roasters has been operating since 2001, making it one of the older specialty roasters in the South West. It is B Corp certified and offers subscriptions and decaf alongside its core range.
Extract Coffee Roasters was founded in 2007 and is the other long-running name in the city. Also B Corp certified, Extract focuses on single-origin coffees and offers subscriptions and decaf. The two of them set the tone for the scene that followed.
Blind Owl Coffee launched in 2018 and rounds out the Bristol roasters with a founding date. It offers subscriptions and decaf.
Boona Boona Coffee Roasters takes a different approach to sourcing: all their coffee is organic and Fairtrade certified, and they focus on single-origin lots. Subscriptions are available.
Odd Kin Coffee is one of two Bristol roasters in the directory with a cafe as well as a roastery. They stock single-origin coffees, offer subscriptions, and include decaf in their range.
TwoDay Coffee Roasters is the other roaster with a cafe. Their offer covers single-origin coffees and subscriptions.
Triple Co Roast and Lost Horizon Coffee complete the eight. Both offer subscriptions and sell direct to consumers online.
If you want the broadest possible introduction to the Bristol scene, Clifton and Extract are the natural starting points. Both have been around long enough to have a well-developed range and clear sourcing philosophy, and both offer subscriptions so you can try their coffees regularly without reordering each time.
If organic and Fairtrade sourcing matters to you, Boona Boona is the one to look at. If you want to visit a roaster in person, Odd Kin and TwoDay both have cafes. For everything else, the full Bristol roaster listing has all eight in one place.
