One Up One Down Coffee

One Up One Down Coffee We're a small coffee roaster and caffe in Trenton, N.J. seeking balance in coffee and life. WHAT AND WHO IS ONE UP ONE DOWN? Well-balanced coffee.

We’re a coffee roastery and caffe in Trenton, N.J., interested in connecting people with great coffee that is consciously sourced and carefully roasted, and presenting it in a down-to-earth atmosphere. We seek balance and always more time outside, either by foot or bike (and paws), with a great cup of coffee. Why “one up one down?”
The name, as one might guess from the logo, was inspired by our do

g’s ears. But it embodies a simple concept that we attempt to apply universally: Balance. Work balanced with play. Sunk in a chair staring at a glowing screen balanced balanced with feet on the dirt gazing at a glowing sunset. A good cup of coffee is often said to have balance. And a good life is one that embraces balance.

There’s no single, standardized system for rating the quality of green coffee worldwide. In Tanzania, a letter grading system is used to indicate bean size and density, with AA ranking highest. Our June Coffee Club selection is a washed process Tanzania AA produced by various smallholders. As we inspected and enjoyed the aroma of the raw beans, we understood the high grade. It’s not too late to find out for yourself how the roasting notes measure up…join the club!

Every Monday is different these days. Today was a quick meet up in Brooklyn to grab 150lbs of green, microlot Ethiopia beans. The stories behind the coffees we drink go far and deep. There’s shameful exploitation and inspiring innovation crashing into each other along all points of the supply chain. We enjoy being a tiny cog in the wheel and never take this opportunity for granted. Abdullah, founder of Alif coffee traders, was introduced to us by our former head roaster, Brandon. We appreciate him working directly with us in this grassroots way so we can support his mission to drive fair wages for specialty grade coffee farmers.

Hello old café friends!

You can get an order delivered to Artworks Trenton this Friday 12/20 if you order beans and/or brewing equipment by tomorrow (Thursday) 6pm. Just visit oneuponedowncoffee.com (all stock is updated and fairly limited!) and select "Local Pick up Artworks" as your shipping option. Remember to let us know if you need it ground, and the grind type.

Orders must be picked up anytime during Artworks open hours of 11am to 6pm this Friday or Saturday.

OR.... if you want to visit Natalie at the winter Yardley Farmer's Market this Saturday, she can bring your order there! The winter market is located inside the Lower Makefield Township Community Building from 10am to 12pm every 1st and 3rd Saturday until May.

OORRR...arrange pick up any time, any day from 9-5 at Greenstraw Cafe in Newtown, PA (our current home for bagging the beans and running this new version of our company). Get a LanceDogstrong espresso drink while there!

If we don't see you, please know we miss you every day. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Diana and Michael didn’t know that we closed the cafe, but when they found out they tracked Natalie down at Greenstraw Cafe and got Michael’s tins refilled for his birthday. And now they know where they can still get a LanceDogstrong espresso drink! A warm wonderful tale of people making sure they get better coffee. ❤️☕️
