Bicycle Coffee
Oakland, CA, USA
Bicycle Coffee has roasted specialty-grade Arabica in Oakland since 2009 and delivers it across the city by bicycle, on trailers it designs and builds itself. The core lineup is deliberately simple — a fruity natural Light Roast, Medium, Dark, Espresso Blend and a water-process Decaf — plus limited releases, sold retail, in bulk and wholesale to cafés and markets. Its flagship café and roastery sits in the Jack London produce district, a sister café-roastery operates in Kanamachi, Tokyo, and a portion of all sales supports World Bicycle Relief and Bike East Bay.
