Rook Coffee Roasters

Royal Coffee New York started in 1995 in Staten Island, New York. The team started out small with just three people and a small office. Under the guidance of Royal Coffee Inc. in Oakland, California, Royal Coffee New York continued to grow, eventually moving into larger offices and adding more staff. In February of 2014, Royal Coffee New York moved into its headquarters warehouse in South Plainfield, New Jersey. The entirely solar powered facility and natural gas powered forklifts ensure that our operations are clean and energy efficient. The Lab was founded in 2015 to provide an education and training space for the specialty coffee industry. It began by offering barista-focused and coffee roasting classes on site at the Royal Coffee New York headquarters, and was certified as an SCA Premier Campus. Royal Tea New York was founded in 2016 to bring a wider product portfolio with the same emphasis on quality to the specialty coffee and tea industry. May of 2016 saw the move into the Royal New York Annex immediately across the street from our headquarters warehouse. The Lab moved to the RNY Annex in 2016, drastically expanding its space and capabilities. Tea classes were also added to the curriculum, and continued to be offered today.
