Our Coffee
Coast Roast beans. Antique roasters. New Orleans soul.
Coast Roast Coffee
Kevin Pedeaux co-founded Coast Roast Coffee in 2009 and still develops every blend and selects the green beans himself. The roastery sits on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where two antique Royal No. 6 drum roasters built in the 1910s do the work. These aren't museum pieces — they're working machines that produce a depth of flavor modern equipment can't replicate. The slow, heavy drums create a full-bodied coffee with complexity that quick-roast methods miss. Beans are sourced through the International Coffee Company and arrive through the Port of New Orleans. Coast Roast combines century-old roasting technique with careful sourcing and modern quality control — coffee that honors the Gulf South tradition while meeting the standards of serious coffee drinkers.
Streetcar
Named for the iconic New Orleans streetcar, this medium roast is our most approachable blend. It's smooth, balanced, and versatile — equally at home as a morning pour-over or an afternoon iced coffee. Tasting notes of caramel, toasted nuts, and a clean finish that doesn't linger too long. This is the blend that converts people who think they don't like black coffee.

French Roast
Dark, smoky, and unapologetically bold. Our French Roast honors the New Orleans tradition of strong, dark coffee — but without the chicory. This is pure coffee, roasted deep enough to develop rich smoky character and a heavy body that stands up to cream and sugar. It's the coffee for people who want their coffee to taste like coffee. Robust from the first sip to the last.

Roch Blend
Our tribute to the New Orleans coffee-and-chicory tradition and to the St. Roch neighborhood where CR Coffee was born. Chicory adds an earthy, slightly sweet undertone that's been part of New Orleans coffee culture for over a century. The Roch Blend balances quality Coast Roast coffee with just enough chicory to honor the tradition without overwhelming the bean. Best served as a café au lait — half coffee, half hot milk — the way New Orleans has always done it.
