roastery

Coffee roasting facility

A roastery is a facility where coffee beans are roasted.

The term emerged with the craft coffee movement, distinguishing specialty roasters from mass producers.

Many roasteries double as cafés where customers can watch the roasting process: We visited a local roastery to pick up some fresh beans.
