Located just a few blocks from the UW–Milwaukee campus, Roast Coffee Company has become a staple of the East Side. Our approach to coffee is based on the neighborhood we serve. We believe everyone has had coffee, but they have never had coffee like this. A customer might not be able to explain the intricacies, tasting notes, or terroir of a particular coffee, but they know it’s better than any coffee they’ve tasted. At our café, you can expect to find killer customer service in a no-nonsense kind of way. We focus on the ingredients, craftsmanship, and a natural homegrown space that has plenty of outlets. Our menu is chocked full of signature drinks based on seasonality that you will find at only a handful of espresso bars across the country. All our coffees are prepared meticulously with quality and consistency in mind. Whatever you want to call it. It’s safe to say we have some baller food. Whether it’s a delicious breakfast sandwich like the Radio Milwaukee, Four One Four, or GGOOLLDD or a lunch sandwich like the Huge Bob and The Hustle, Testa Rosa, or WebsterX, they’re all named after Milwaukee bands and made fresh to order. Come on in and join the neighborhood!

Not a bad view from the office!

Once a month, our team gets to enjoy this incredible view of downtown Milwaukee and Lake Michigan while serving coffee to the residents of 7seventy7apts.

The coffee is always a highlight, but this view never gets old. Milwaukee really knows how to show off.

Great coffee is equal parts art, science, and a little bit of obsession.

There’s a science to getting the grind, temperature, timing, and extraction just right. But there’s also an art to knowing when something needs a little adjustment, experimenting with flavors, and turning a few simple ingredients into something worth slowing down for.

It's the little details most people never see that make this work so much fun. We're always learning, experimenting, and finding new ways to get better at what we love doing.

Are you someone who appreciates the process behind a great cup of coffee, or do you just want it to taste amazing? No wrong answers.

A little glimpse of our recent visit to the Indian Community School, featuring warm lighting, fall colors, and a fresh cup of coffee.
