Happiness~Roasted

South Side Coffee Company may be a young company, yet coffee has been ingrained in my soul as far back as I can remember. Coffee has always been more than a morning pick me up, it’s what bonds families, friends, and even strangers…A gesture of hospitality and goodwill to be shared any time of the day… 

My quest for the perfect cup started many, many years ago…As a 12 year old paperboy on the “South Side” of Bloomfield. The morning journey started with a cart of newspapers in one hand and Coffee in the other. It was bitter and burnt, and this would jumpstart my journey to find and brew better!

Simple Times…Simple Happiness…

I’ve come a long way since those days and a lifetime of knowledge and inspiration has lead me to this point. Yet my views and values have always remained the same…That’s why at South Side I keep it Simple; I source Sustainable Coffee, Roast it Fresh and  never forget where I came from…

As a small batch-artisan roaster, South Side Coffee Company only sources the highest quality specialty coffees available. We specialize in individualized orders. All beans are roasted to order.  This process allows for the utmost freshness and quality control. 

Some have called me a coffee snob, while others say I obsess. In the end, I only want to share a bit of happiness through a drink that unites us all…Now close your eyes and think of the best coffee you have ever experienced…the taste, the aroma, and how it made you feel…this is what I strive to recreate...or what I call Happiness Roasted!
