Carl Ferdinand Röstfabrik
Düsseldorf, Germany
Carl Ferdinand Röstfabrik is a small coffee roastery with an attached café in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort, telling a four-generation family story shaped by coffee and seafaring. Coffee is hand-roasted on site (visible through a glass viewing window), sourced from producers committed to fair working conditions and environmentally friendly cultivation, and sold alongside homemade cakes; the roastery also runs a separate Kaffeebar outlet on Wupperstraße.
