Welcome to Asheville's premier craft roaster of Specialty Coffee

  • Mountain City is a micro-roaster of specialty coffee. We roast coffee the old-fashioned way and place the Fresh-Roast® date on the bag so you know when your coffee was roasted.

  • We sell to everyone at the same low price. Our prices are posted on-line -- you don't have to log in or have an account to see them. (read more ....)

    • ~ We buy pretty good beans and roast them as well as we can ~

It's a party! The 13th annual Blue Jean Ball to benefit Manna Food Bank is coming up June 2nd. Mountain City and Old Europe will share a booth for coffee and pastry.

It really is the best party in town -- if you can't attend, please consider making a donation. There's more hunger in our area than you would think.

I've had some questions and concerns from customers about when to expect their coffee delivered. The short answer: It's all in the timing.

I'm leaving up this reminder to use enough coffee in your coffee. There's nothing more frightening than a weak cup of coffee. The note on the wall says "use ... a heaping tablespoon for each cup". This ad from the Pan-American Coffee Bureau was one of many in which they urged Americans to make stronger coffee.
