Pettibone Coffee is a modern specialty coffee roaster dedicated to sharing some of the world’s most exceptional coffees. Founded in 2017 in Dayton, Ohio we put an emphasis on sourcing seasonal fresh crop coffees and roasting them with a gentle hand to highlight the natural terroir and push clarity, complexity and sweetness.
SOURCING & ROASTING
While our cafe remains an important place to connect with our local community and showcase who we are, Pettibone is built around our roasting program. We proudly partner with cafes, restaurants, offices, and hospitality businesses while bringing our coffees to homes across the country.
Every coffee is carefully sourced from producers and partners who share our commitment to quality, traceability, and a passion for always pushing the boundaries of what we do. Each lot is roasted with precision on our Loring roaster, color sorted using advanced optical sorting technology, and evaluated through Agtron roast color analysis and continual cupping to ensure every coffee reflects the highest standards of quality and the truest expression of its origin.
We roast intentionally light, allowing delicate florals, vibrant fruit, layered sweetness, and refined acidity to remain intact without sacrificing drinkability. Some of our coffees can withstand extremely light roasts (almost ultra-light), while others do better with a bit more development while still landing solidly in the light range.
WHY PETTIBONE?
The name Pettibone comes from a small lake that has been part of our family’s story for generations. It’s a place associated with quiet mornings, meaningful conversations, and countless memories shared over a cup of coffee.
Our logo features the state flower of the state where Pettibone Lake resides, a subtle reminder of the place that inspired our name and our belief that great coffee has the ability to slow us down, bring people together, and create moments worth remembering.
Whether you’re brewing at home, visiting our cafe, or partnering with us wholesale, we’re grateful to have the opportunity to share those moments with you.
