The heavenly aroma of roasting coffee surrounds this North Fair Oaks shop and roaster for a block in any direction. The company has supplied coffee to both retail and wholesale customers for 25 years, and because Connoisseur is a direct supplier, its retail prices run several dollars per pound less than the well-known chains. More than 30 coffee blends of varying strengths and roasts are available by the pound, including fair-trade, decaf and low-caf blends. Loose teas, snacks and coffee-making equipment are sold, as well as drinks to consume on-site in the highly atmospheric roasting room. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Good as Gold Coffee Service has been providing coffee products and services to local area businesses since the 1960s. It carries brand names such as Flavia, Dr. Smoothie, Everpure, Hahns and Lavazza.
