Hi Everyone!
The blog has been neglected, but now that will all be changing.
You can come to the blog and see what we are up to, what coffees we have, or what new coffees we are getting in. There will be coffee information, brew guides, reviews, and anything else coffee or heart related.
We just got in two new delicious coffees, Bolivia (Familia Miranda) and a Colombia (Alfredo Rojas) this coffee is heart exclusive. More about these coffees soon, stay tuned.
We are growing by leaps and…Breakfast! So, I hear that Juniors on SE 12th has AMAZING french toast…I hear they make an unbeatable vegan breakfast too…I also heard that they just started serving HEART coffee!! I think its time to pay this little Southeast gem a visit again! (plus…they are just so darn sweet)
WOW…now I am really hungry.
Guess what?
IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY !
Didn’t seem like we have been around for a YEAR already but WE HAVE!
It’s our first birthday and we couldn’t have done it without YOU.
So…

Finally the wait is over! After numerous requests, we have made our whole bean coffee available to you directly from our website.
Just click the “store” link above to visit our store and order your favorite Heart Coffees.
We are currently offering a limited selection of our best selling coffees and in the coming months we plan to expand our offerings, so stay tuned!
This week, we are very pleased to announce that our coffee is being featured at Billy Wilson’s Barista! Our Guatemala Puerta Verde espresso currently sits proudly alongside Coava as well as Spella.
This is a special occasion for us and a landmark in our career as a local micro roaster, as our espresso has never before been served at any location aside from our shop!
Please pay those folks a visit if you are in the area and while you are at it, you can pick up a bag of our whole bean Kenya Peaberry!
Every once in a while, the coffee elves from the coffee elf stations around the world (specifically Latin America, Africa, and Indonesia) come and drop off magic coffee beans for our roasting pleasure. Today was one of those days. While the beans are in their green state, they sit comfy in our temperature and humidity controlled room. This is just the beginning of the fun.
Here are some of the new coffees:
Ethiopia Limu Niguse – This natural processed coffee is sweetly complex with caramel, pomegranate and Rainer cherry. As we leave the Ethiopia Sidama Michicha ARDI that we loved so much, we are blessed with another amazing Ethiopian coffee to take its place. I have tried this coffee in a few different brewing methods including espresso and it is just so delicious.
El Salvador Borbollon – With flavors of milk chocolate, caramel and orange, this coffee has body reminiscent of sugar cane juice.
Sumatra Blue Batak – Blue Batak derives its name from the indigenous Batak people of Lintong who grow coffee in the hillsides surrounding lake Toba. This earthy coffee has a full body and complex acidity with molasses like sweetness.
Decaf Sumatra – This organic, water processed decaf is full of body with a sweet citrus acidity.
Now each of these wonderful restaurants truly deserves their very own posts, they are among some of the finest (and tastiest) dining experiences that our little town has to offer…However, efficiency wins and with no further ado, I present to you our lovely new partners who are currently serving Heart Roasters coffee!!

Better get yourselves down to some farmers markets or to 600 SW Pine St. to visit Cafe Velo. For those that don’t know, Cafe Velo has been doing pour over and french press at various farmers markets around Portland. They recently opened a cafe at 6th and Pine, and the space is glorious. They serve delicious food as well. They also serve our coffee! If you find yourselves at the PSU farmers market on Saturday the 17th you should get a cup of our new Yirgacheffe or Kenya. Be on the lookout for these new coffees in the cafe too. The Kenya Mtaro Ruiru and the Colomiba Meta Lejanias are brand new. We also have a newer Yirgacheffe we are serving. The Kenya is a very clean coffee, loaded with sweetness, and an outstanding finish, meanwhile the Colombian microlot displays a perfectly balanced and transparent cup, which is action packed with sweetness and ripe fruit. 
7:30AM – 5:00PM M – F
