The Company:
Dallis Coffee
What They Do:
Since 1913 — way, way before Stumptown and Counter Culture came to town — this artisanal coffee roaster has served the city’s caffeinated public, from selling beans by horse-drawn carriage to roasting blends for cafés, restaurants, bakeries and espresso bars across the island. Beans are curated from Africa, the Americas and Indonesia, while blends cover the gamut between light, dark, Italian roast, Viennese, and Swiss water processed.
Why We Love Them:
Besides the taste of their time-honored roasts and bold blends, they’ve got all the labels we like: USDA Organic, Fair-Trade Certified and Rain Forest Alliance Certified. This means their beans are coming from healthy, respected and properly reimbursed land. We also love that they give tours and brewing tips at their roasting headquarters in Queens on the first Saturday of every month.
Where to Find Them:
Dallis Coffee blends can be bought online or ordered at some of the city’s top locavore hubs like Back Forty. The company also provides product for catering companies and universities. And do make a trip to their company headquarters, which are located at 100-32 Atlantic Avenue, Ozone Park, Queens. Contact: 718.845-3010 or orders@dallisbroscoffee.com. And last but certainly not least, you can read more about them in our May/June issue of this year. It’s called Dallis Does New York.
