We’re a specialty coffee roaster in Riverside and Pawtucket, Rhode Island and we’re passionate about coffee. We’re here to bridge the gap between diner coffee and craft brews, between coffee snobs and everyday drinkers, because we believe coffee is an experience worth sharing with everyone. Roasting coffee is a blend of art and science; the entire process from bean to brew requires skill and const

ant attention. We know that coffee is at its best when it’s freshly roasted, so we roast in small batches to ensure you receive the best beans with every order. Smaller batches means we roast more often and coffee doesn’t sit on a shelf waiting to be sold. We taste each batch of coffee we roast as our commitment to quality. We’re constantly tweaking our roasts because every coffee bean has unique flavors worth highlighting. We take the time to discover the point in the roast where each bean (or each blend) develops its best attributes and flavor profiles. That means most of our roasts are on the light to medium side so you can still taste the flavor of the beans versus the flavors of the roast. Come by the cafe for a cup or to restock your favorite beans for home. Stay for while; read or work in the cafe. If you’re curious about the process, ask questions, we’d love to answer them over a cup of coffee. Learn more at www.borealiscoffee.com

For years we looked for a solution to beat the heat on the Riverside patio. We didn’t want to anchor anything to our historic building and we needed something we could take down (if needed) before bad weather. Enter the pergola! The perfect shady spot to settle under on a sunny afternoon with a good book and cold brew. ☕️🐻

The bubbles in our espresso tonic are more than just fizzy. As they pop when you drink, they push the sweet and fruity aromas of the espresso right into your nose. Plus the sweetness of the bootblack_brand tonic enhances the brown sugar notes of our Three Phase Espresso.

Why do an iced pour over in a Chemex? Why not? But also, flavor. We add ice to the base of the Chemex, brew coffee directly over the cubes, which flash chills the coffee and preserves the more delicate tasting notes. We thought it was the perfect brew method to play with the fruit punch flavors of Juan Puerta’s Biofruit Fermentation.

Meet the Borealis Coffee 5-panel hat featuring our first and only angry bear. You may have noticed that bears feature in most of our branding. We’ve always avoided illustrating our bears as angry; grizzlies get a bad rap, but we all need to be fierce every once in a while.
