Same corner.
Same roaster.
Village Roaster has been on Alameda Avenue in Lakewood since 1979. Same family, same approach: buy good green coffee and tea from farms and importers we trust, roast it in house on our production roasters, pack it fresh, and get it to you fast. No middleman house brand. No mystery sourcing. Just decades of relationships with growers and a catalog built on what the neighborhood actually drinks.
We carry more than a specialty shop because the neighborhood asks for more. Dozens of teas — black, green, white, herbal, chai — alongside single-origin coffees and seasonal blends, plus spices, accessories, and gift sets. If you've been coming in for forty years or you've just moved to Lakewood, this is your local roaster.
