“Rowster” was named after Grand Rapids and all its beauty. Whether it is rowing down the Rogue River, or fishing at the Sixth Street Dam, our city revolves around the waters that run through it.Rowster moved away from kayaks and canoes to coffees about a decade ago. It began as a one-man operation in the back of a local gallery. High standards were present even in our humble beginnings. Sourcing only the best coffee beans from across the globe ensured the ability to create the highest quality specialty coffee in Grand Rapids.Each bean contains the flavors of the environment from which it came. Ethiopian coffees hold in them a berry-like sweetness, while Brazilian beans contain a spicy nuttiness. Our roasters lend their expert craftsmanship to the roasting process, allowing our specialty coffee to tell the story of the beans that created it.
